Procrastination

I find so many ways
To put off what I should do
When it is something
That I really don't want to.

It's amazing how much busy work
One can find about
When there's something big you're dreading.
And I just can't figure out

What makes me put it off
Until I can wait no more.
Although I know if I'll just jump right in
It will be done before

I know it. But I delay.
Is it something in my nature
That makes me do such things?
It's understandable from someone immature

But I'm old enough to know better.
So, I make excuse
For not proceeding with the task
Until it is no use.

And as I go about my job
I wonder what the fuss was about.
Because all I had to do
Was take the garbage out!
