I Tend to Digress
Sometimes I do not follow-through
With chores I have begun.
For some of them I hate to do
Like raking leaves, for one.
Sometimes I do not start a chore;
So many other things
Are waiting from the day before
With happiness each brings!
Procrastination is a curse
That follows me each day
And yet I wonder which is worse.
Delay will lead to play!
