Procrastination

Why do I almost always delay;
in doing those things I ought:
putting off, what’s for today;
in contrast to how I was taught.

Today’s when I planned the toughest task;
not meaning to put it off, to tomorrow;
but, today it was on my agenda, last;
another day, I’ll be needing to borrow.

All have something about which we’re great;
one gift is taking a temporal vacation;
and all things important; I tend to do late;
the gift I was given, is procrastination.

If it involves something, I may do today;
but can be put off, till tomorrow;
I will almost always opt for delay;
and another new schedule, borrow.

Perhaps this trait, says something about me;
a flaw, that’s inherently wrong;
when things to relate, should come to be;
then the weak, should become the strong.

But, why do today, what can be delayed;
why waste so much time, not doing?
I generally enjoy making time be replayed;
spending my time, eschewing.

It never serves a need, to procrastinate;
words are obscure; and delays get crazy;
no need for us to further obfuscate;
why don’t we just say, “I’m lazy.”
