I have a tendency to procrastinate
Until it is bedtime, and then it is too late
To begin the task that I am supposed to complete
The deadline looms near, and it would be a feat
For me to reach completion a day or two in advance
I still have a week and there is no chance
That I would start the assignment today
No matter how enthusiastic I am, I would procrastinate anyway..
*
Over the years , I have found that I increasingly gravitate
Towards leaving tasks pending until close to the deadline, I hesitate
To start work early and then spend more time in its execution
To start work late, but not at the last minute, is a better solution..
*
I have realized that to procrastinate when I am inclined
I start writing, it offsets the guilt in my mind
Because writing as a productive activity I perceive
That I am using my time wisely I can make myself believe
*
I have procrastinated enough and waxed poetic about it too
To think about the task afresh tomorrow is what I am going to do
