Put Off Procrastinating

Put off procrastination,

Let it go no further.

Stop getting muddled,

In useless Dogma.

 

Procrastination has all,

Of the time there is.

Your deadlines, commitments,

Cannot be missed.

 

Procrastination costs you,

There’s much regret.

It ruins your credit,

Left deep in debt.

 

No, don’t put off,

Replacing the toilet paper roll.

Or you’ll sit empty-handed.

When you need it most.

 

Procrastination’s no friend,

Of yours or mine.

Let it wait forever,

At the back of the line.

 

No, don’t put off,

Doing your laundry,

Have to join a nudist camp,

Won’t that be a quandary?

 

Procrastination doesn’t ever,

Lend you a hand.

Just leaves you stuck,

With your head in the sand.

 

Blinding yourself,

To all that’s productive.

Not having to deal,

That’s why so seductive?

 

Your life and work,

A continuous shamble.

Procrastination’s holding,

In its grip, a preamble.

 

To keep you backed up,

In arrears, its goal.

Break away from its grip,

Climb out of that hole.

 

Do not succumb.

You’ll know only sorrow.

Will put off today,

What you’ll put off tomorrow.

 

Procrastinating is an art,

Keeping up with yesterday.

Live here and now,

The clear and present day.

 

Is there anything worthwhile?

To procrastination, in fact?

Nope, just worthless behavior.

A monkey on your back.

 

Stop procrastinating,

Make it something you forgot.

There’s so much to gain,

Strike while the iron’s hot.
