Please Stop Procrastinating Poem by Hebert Logerie

Please Stop Procrastinating

Rating: 4.1


Please stop, stop, and stop procrastinating
Next week comes the last holy day of spring
Flowers, butterflies and bees will be gone
Time is running as wild as a wild guenon
Being pursued by a ravenous angry lion
Now is the time to move, to take action
Friend, later or tomorrow does not belong
To anybody on earth. Do not take too long
Do it now, otherwise, you're done. It's too late
Please do not delay, postpone or procrastinate.

God will not change the time or the date
And the train will neither wait nor comeback
To pick you up. Be careful, the massive rock
Is in the air, unless you wish to be a flat plate
Gravity knows no delay, move right away
Or you're doomed to be crushed like a tomato
Be alert; don't walk like a mammoth potato
Or Ms. Omah. Don't move as slow as a prey
Do it right now, otherwise, it is too darn late
Please do not delay, postpone or procrastinate.

The poet is right! Do not leave for tomorrow what you can do today, . For we never know what tomorrow will bring. It may be too late to make Spring, spring.. Beautifully expressed with solid arguments, rich imagery and cuantious zest. Thank you for this interesting and excellent work. Congratulations for having it chosen as Poem of the Day.

Good - although the majority of people don't have a clue when the last day of spring happens.
