Yesterday For Today.

Goldfinch60



Well it must be right!

I heard it on the radio,

Heard it on Radio Three.

He said the words,

The words that I would agree with.

He said if you have put off,

Put off yesterday

What you needed to do

To do it today,

Then you can do the same,

The same thing again.

And the things you need to do,

Need to do today

You can put them off.

Put them off until tomorrow.

So I will have an easy day,

An easy day today,

And maybe another one,

Another one tomorrow.

    Good write Gold. erm, I didn't get the saying quite right - Last year is the day you worried about tomorrow. Eh?! lol.

    Lovely Andy I can see why the Beatles if you listen closely it may not be the title of every song but as principle lines in their songs most all the lines in this poem apply. Loved it and the message as well

      Thank you soren, the group is The Animals and this song is the first pop song that lasted more that three minutes in the hit parade and I was at school when it came out and our music teacher played the record to show us this.
