What are you waiting for?
An invitation?
Why not just for once,
Make a decision.
Going back and forth,
Getting all tense.
Use what you’ve got,
Some common sense.
Instead, you sit,
Upon the fence.
“Stuck in the middle,”
Is your only defense.
What it truly is,
You just won’t admit,
You are unsure,
Scared and timid.
Want all to think,
“I’m so cool!”
Cool as a cucumber?
No, just a fool.
Get up and put on,
Your Adult pants.
Stop hemming and hawing,
Stop the stupid dance.
This is your chance,
A good one you’ve got.
What are you waiting for?
Get off the pot!

- Comment from author about the poem: This one is for all the drivers, stopped ahead of me, that will not use the turn indicator (or blinka, as we call it in the Northeast) when attempting to drive through an intersection. It is also relatable regarding people, who are afraid of failure.

procrastination is a waste of time
shit or get off the pot your stinkin up the joint....I like to say... well I don't like it but that is what I say ..plus I have no time to waste? WW
Do you think that Thomas Crapper had any issues? HaHa. Thanks WW. You are very witty and not wasteful in your words... 🙂
yes Tony said I was funny but he won't admit it? I think Mister Crapper is well deserving of memorial Bronze Turd, what a shitty word this would be but for him? thanks for the toast WBL ILU ww
Right back at you and I agree! Ha Ha. Tony is right, as well 🙂
Well written and expressed Great write
Thanks Tony!
Welcome
So many people just need to prevaricate (that's a good word for this time of day) and just cause others to get irritable. Good write.
I appreciate that Goldfinch! You are very wise.
Another great one WBL, and again love the pic...
Thanks so much! 🙂
Very good poem! I would be having fits if people weren't using their blinkers! But as for the poem, I love the last stanza, "get off the pot" is one I've used. People act like they are making a career decision over tiny things. Great write!
I agree. Good old saying, love it myself hahaha. Thanks Christina!
My son put off handing in his notice when he was offered a new job - the new company went bust - in his words : Procrastination is a virtue'. but I know what you mean - I have a hate for drivers who are turning right (it would be left in the States) but don't keep their off-side in line with the centre of the road. The result: I can't by on the inside and sit behind them waiting for them to go while they are taking up all the room. Yup love this poem WBL
Thanks Michael. It is also related to those who are afraid of making a decision because they might turn the wrong way. We all fail and pick ourselves up and try again. Thanks a lot again. Love the story about your Son.
Oohh I can't say long words ya know! I have to say procrastin-wotsit and prevari-wotsit. lol.
You are so clever! Thanks!
Everyone can relate to this 100% either thd selves or someone they know and I adore your picture
Thanks Jooles! Thought the picture fit. I agree. Each person needs the time they need to make a decision. But, sometimes you just want to say, "While we are still young." Ha Ha. Thanks.
Lol true...I have a very relaxed husband......hus answer is usually. ....whatever babe....in my head I'm screaming aggghhhhh lol
Great rant. Love the photo. And what a great metaphor for the indecisive. I love "what are you waiting for...."
Thanks Augustus! Me too! What the heck, is how I feel! 🙂
Very humorous. I hate driving, and heavy traffic only makes it worse. People should not be allowed on the road. There are the pushy ones, the opposite of that the timid ones, the ones who are lost and don't know where they are going, and of course the tailgaters.. . and many more. Why can't they just drive? Enjoyed your take on all this. - Phil A.
