I could survive for longer though,' he said,
'but then again, I may have little time -
it's been so long since I was in my prime.

I find it hard that I don't really know,
because I'd take a cruise or rob

When you say I love you then you're gone
Yes I know you're shy but how can I
Prove my love true when away you fly

Confessions of a Habitual Procrastinator
Selectively forgetful,
That's what my mother says -
When I'm called to do some work,
I escape in funny ways.

Of all my weird excuses,
Perhaps the worst made by man.
''Can't hear you!'' I'll just say,
''Cause the fan is way too loud''.
And then I'll hear the footfall
Like a crashing

Procrastinator
I think I'll do the wash today so much
Has piled up since. But then the shopping must
Be done, of this I am convinced. How such
Predicaments evolved? I guess I'm just
A lazy cuss who'd rather stay in bed.
Although the chores are pending still, I swear
By all that's holy, never let it said:
I yield my soul to
