PROCRASTINATION

Is my word of the day,

it fits me in every conceivable way.

I have a story summary to write,

but it's proving to be a terrible fight.

I've to put my name and title on every page,

and that won't guarantee me a wage.

Then I have to proof - read it for the hundredth time,

it's so much easier to just sit and rhyme. 

.....

Just when this huge task will be performed is anyone's guess,

because I'm procrastinating big time...oh yes!

I started it in two thousand and ten,

yes, I've been procrastinating since then.

But according to my peers' critical appraisal, I know they like my style,

so perhaps my hard work will all be worth while.

.....

But alas! at the moment procrastination is becoming my friend,

and I'm not sure I want this feeling to end.

It's nice just taking my time, relaxing, writing and drinking red wine.

At least for a few weeks at least,

for I'm sure, procrastination is a powerful beast.

I'll not let it overwhelm my creative flow you'll see,

for I'm going to change the word to alacrity. 

.....

But first, I have to put my dictionary away, and save some words for another day.
