Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Do not delay another day.
Procrastination can wear you down,
And when reviewed will make you frown.
For jobs remaining there undone
Will result in little fun.
And whilst they sit there every day,
Will add much more to what they weigh.
So make you sure that it comes to pass
That you get up off your fat ass
Just talking to myself here really, but the pic isn't of me..honest.
(Thanks Robert Herrick,1648,for the first line.)
Loving that one Mr.D. The photo does the rhyme justice too!!!
It's not me. I say, it isn't me! >😛
Now come on...there's no need to be shy after all you know you are amongst friends here.(lol)
Though doest protest too much x
I have taken that personally dearest Don. I am defo a procrastinator (ask Katinka) and indecisive to boot! Love ya though.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Put everything off for another day,
Take it easy, chill, be calm
Procrastination will do no harm,
But then tomorrow comes around,
Jobs undone can be found
Manana’s maybe not the way
Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
Great poem Don. You inspired me. Xxxxxxx
Another one to wake up to Don giving food for thought x
Please, don't mention food again! 🙄x
Procrastination is the thief of time,
Don't put it off - write another rhyme!
Love Iris x
Both you and Sassy are class acts in my book!
I love this one Don. Every year my new year's resolution it to give up procrastination : I never seem to get round to it though.
Roundtoititis is just as serious as Cantbebothereditis. The first is much harder to catch. 😉
Have you been spying on me Don? Procrastination is my middle name! xx Moy
I was going to spy on you, but you know how it is. 🙄xx
I feel so sorry for that chair
I am sure it wishes it wasn't there
It's little legs must be all a tremble
I doubt that anyone could reassemble!
Don, you're wasted! You should publish your prose - you'd be a wealthy man! 👌
Happy man is a man who wants what he already has. I can't say I've met many really happy wealthy men to be honest, have you? I'm happy 🤡
Aww. I'm so happy for you Don, and I agree that not many wealthy people are truly happy. It's because - as they say - money can't buy happiness - but I wouldn't mind giving it a try...just once...? 😉
Your ditty is hilarious, your replies even more so.
Thank you again for my morning smile.😀
You keep us going, Don ❤️ Every day when I tune into this site, I know I’ll be rewarded with a rhyme from our Don. Thank you. And yes, procrastination limits my achievements.....worse since I retired....seem to think I have more time! Wrong!
Thank you Penny, that's nice to read. 😊
Haha..😃
Transplant box ticked..👍👍👍
