To-Do List
~
I hesitated as I walked into the room,
Surely, it can’t be past noon.
Where did the day go?
Am I moving that slow?
~
My to-do list is long,
Where did I go wrong?
How did I let the day?
Gradually slip away.
~
Was my shower too long?
Did I get lost in a song?
Were my eggs overcooked?
Was I reading a book?
~
How could four hours just vanish?
Not even combing my hair did I manage.
No grass did get mowed,
No garden got hoed
~.
Oh boy, am I in trouble,
Unless I move on the double.
But now it’s time for lunch,
And I’m ready to munch.
~
There is always tomorrow,
I say in deep sorrow.
I’ll get up before dawn,
And start with the lawn.
~
But wait, don’t I have plans?

| Procrastination, the thing that makes the world stop in it's tracks, lol. I've had days when all of a sudden it's 4 in the afternoon and I haven't done anything, lol. But your right, why do today what you can put off till tomorrow, lol. |

I wasn't really drawn to the poem upon reading the title, but as it turned out, the title is precisely what made it work perfectly:) And the last stanza is a good examble on how simpel rhyming not nessesarily is bad, in fact, it works quite good in yours.
There is always tomorrow,
I say in deep sorrow.
I’ll get up before dawn,
And start with the lawn.
Good job.
