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.)

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

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 🤡

Hidden in reply to Hidden 5 years ago
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...? 😉

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!
