Blame not the gale, or the inhospitable sea-gulf, or friends’ tardiness,
mariner! Just man’s foolhardiness.
—Leonidas of Tarentum, translation by Michael R. Burch
It’s said tomorrow never comes
Believe me it’s so true
I’ve got a massive list
Of jobs I’ve got to do...
Tomorrow!
I should not put off jobs
Until a rainy day
Unfortunately my tardiness
will just add to the delay
I promise I will get them done ...
Tomorrow!

Here lies Deadline Devonshire, tardiness she did abhor
Her editor will tell you, "She was never late before"
Her sister laid claim to the gene pool’s beauty and brains
Carolyn took credit for writing verse that’s inane
Believed in reincarnation; wasn't Cleopatra
She merely adopted "been there, done that" as her mantra
She was the first to acknowledge her imperfection
But writing her own epitaph? Too much self-reflection!
Her puffy face,
Bears no grace,
Her look; stolid, vacant,
And expression absent.
Malar flush,
Contrasting yellowish tint,
Of velvety skin,
Resembling a peach,
Flabby tongue,
Thickened and broad,
Tardiness of speech,
And sluggish to respond.
Her dry, coarse skin,
Has elasticity lost,
And covers underneath,
Lots of subcut fat,
Swelling of the face,
And swelling of the limbs,
But waterlogged they are not,
Apply pressure, yet pit they not.
