THE PROCRASTINATOR

Ever dealt with a procrastinator?
If you did, you’d know it’s true
Putting things off indefinitely
Is what they like to do.

If they have a paper due
They’ll start the night before
They will do the minimum
And not a sentence more.

If they need to clean the house
They’ll watch TV instead
A deadline is their kryptonite
It messes with their head.

Paying bills, answering calls
Hard for them to do
Late notices and penalties
Their bills always overdue.

Like an ostrich with its head in the sand
Their thoughts are up in the clouds
Don’t count on them to get things done
They’ll do as little as allowed.

If you need a project done
From start, right thru completion
Think twice before you hire someone
You know with this condition.
