Procrastination Blues

You’ve got procrastination blues

and you got it really bad

when I get it like that

it makes me very sad

But today will be gone

in a very short while

and you didn’t do

the things that make you smile.

You haven’t done

anything you want to do

They’re on the ‘to-do-list’

You’re still waiting for a cue

Immobile but insistant

Procrastination stands

Give it a wave goodbye

Pack it off to distant lands

Strike while the iron’s hot

which is all the time

There’s no time like the present

This time right now is fine

Please don’t give up

Don’t give up the fight

You’re a writer

And writers write.
