Procrastination

As I look at my "to do" list, I rationalize why I am not starting on any of the projects. I'll do them when ------

WHEN

When March gets here

When snow is gone

And spring is near

And days are long

That’s when I’ll do it!

*

When trees turn green

when rivers flow

And buds are seen

And daisies grow

That’s when I’ll do it!

*

When winds are warm

When ground is dry

And never a storm

And clear blue sky

That’s when I’ll do it!

*

But—

Today it’s freezing

Snow in the air

And I am sneezing

It’s just not fair

The fire is warm

The book is great

So where’s the harm

If those jobs wait

I’ll get at them

I swear I will

But not until -

the spring

That’s when I’ll do it!
