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!
