I'm a procrastinator Always making people wait It's been this way since early years And seems to be my fate When I was just an embryo In that warm and comfy space I finished all the novels there Before I left that place My mother dear was frantic No one should have to bear A long-winding pregnancy That lasts nearly a year In grade school I was slower A lot behind the rest Not stupid, but just intr'sted In everything I guess In my time of college I was always referred To the one who's always late And passes by deferred When people call me up I say about an hour They know they must wait up to three That's procrastinator's power At work the tasks I don't like Are put off for the day While doing things important At least that's what I say When my life is ended And I pass beyond the veil I know the epitaph will read The late, LATE Mrs Dale Even now while I am writing Poetry for you I'm really just postponing All the things I have to do Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Keth beloved heart sister and hanger of the stars light, your writing is always special you know exactly how to cheer your audience. This is the perfect poem to post right now. Something to summon a smile when the relief of laughter is needed. As always beloved heart I love it love it love it. The flow perfect the meter divine and your trade mark of quality stamped firmly on this precious gem of delight As always Mushy    Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Hey Kethry, I am the King of Procrastation!!!! Never do today what you can leave until tomorrow. I just about fell off the chair when I read the line 'The late LATE Mrs Dale' !!! You have put into words the way I am sure many of us really are, if the truth was known!, and put together so perfectly. In any case, I am putting off my funeral for a very long time.

  (big hugggssssss) Oh Kethry, we all understand how you feel, though I am not much of a procrastinator and rather would get assignments out of the way, I always work to get my work done so I can post at Passions with all of you! (sigh) This place always has a special spirit I can't refuse, sweet friend, this is lovely, we all love you so much! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Kethry - you sure hit the nail on the head. After reading this write, I need to stop doing the procrastinating, and start doing the writing to get this book completed... BC |

Yep, you sure hit home with this one. Are we just one big world of procrastinators? It seems we are. This is a delightful take on it. Enjoyed. I read it while I was putting off my housework this morning. There are a million messages, |
