Dilly-dally

2781

I am sore sure 

Dilly-dally can do anything:

 

Goes to work, scratches his head-brings out his tools for an hour for so.

 

Packs up.

 

Away he goes...

 

Meets a client 

 

Chats for an hour

 

Tries to talk his way out of the job, 

Nice old man;

It'll cost him a bob.

 

Drives half an hour to town

 

To have a feed and look around 

 

Visits his favourites 

 

Likes that a lot...

 

Greeting familiar faces

 

Smiling in the crowd-

 

Makes his day

 

He has to say...

 

Of wasting time, he is proud. 

 

Drives another hour back to the shed:

 

Loads up for tomorrow (yes he remembered his pen).

 

Sat back in his favourite chair 

 

Gives thanks

 

Has a cry

 

Knowing tomorrow 

 

Dilly-dally

 

Will have another try.

 

But the works not over

 

He does a 2nd shift

 

It's the time of the day

 

When his focus is in.

 

The work is play

 

Dilly-dallys tomorrow's 

 

The bills-they'll pay.

 

 He loves hisvwork

 

Because he loves you.

 

Without your help 

 

Dilly-dally 

 

Would be in the poo.

    Been there done that. I can feel this one as if it were a mirror and a reflection within. Putting off things I think we all do at times. A most fun read.

      What's that I say-why do today what you can put off until tomorrow!
