Poem Procrastination

I wrote a poem called Procrastination last week but did not finish it……Only kidding. Here it is.

 

Poem Procrastination

Some say procrastination is a four-syllable word for sloth.

Perhaps it is, let me think about it and I’ll get back to you with my thoughts.

Some say procrastination is self-sabotage in disguise.

Perhaps it is, but let me ponder upon that and surmise.

Some say procrastination is putting off things till tomorrow.

Perhaps it is, and I can get back to you, in the morrow.

Some say procrastination is mind constipation.

Perhaps it is and I need some laxative tea as a libation.

Some say procrastination is a superpower.

Perhaps it is, but I can’t stand the guilt, every hour.

Some say to overcome procrastination I need to set clear goals.

But being so organised obliterates my soul.

Daydreaming and distractions mean I am a last-minute gal.

I regularly disappear down rabbit holes of wonderland.

I cogitate, prevaricate, and consider my options.

With procrastination, I still get to my destination, with a smile and a coffee.
