Thank you for pointing out my typo. I noticed lately I sometimes type a similar word that starts the same way as the one I want without noticing. I'm going to blame it on getting older. Thank you also for reading and reviewing my poem.

A very well-written poem. Yes, we do delay to do things either important or not. Before we know there are more things not done than there was things we need to do.

I agree. I had to stop trying to make lists of things I need to do. They were getting too long and I couldn't figure out where to start. And something new always comes up each day. Thank you for the feedback.

Hi there,

Ah, procrastination and apathy - the enemy to all.

Nice job with this piece.

Why have I not don't these things - done?

Thank you for the feedback. I fixed the typo so thanks for pointing it out. I do wish I could find some kind of motivation to just take care of things and not put them off.

I do envy people who find a way to get things done in a timely manner. I have never been very good at it. Thank you for the feedback.

We put off those jobs that gnaw at us from the inside when we should tackle those jobs first for peace of mind! But then you wouldn't have been able to write this perfect poem about your thoughts of procrastination! Love Dolly x

Yes, it would make sense to just go ahead and take care of something so it doesn't prey on our mind because we haven't. But that would make too much sense. I also wish I just felt like taking care of everything I need to do. Thank you for reading and for your feedback.

Who has not--at the end of a day--not asked ourselves why we didn't get anything done? I like how the Speaker does not make excuses, nor does he show much remorse for his inaction.

Thank you for your feedback. We all have our reasons for not getting things done, some good some bad. If I got started on excuses they could have gone on forever.

Hahahaha! G'day mate.

Why do today what can be left until tomorrow (or something like that lol).

Beautifully written and deserves a six, but, alas, the cupboard is bare.

I always enjoy seeing a post from you and I'm glad I caught this one. No spag to report.

Great job.

Cheers Fez

Thank you for reading and for the review. I appreciate the virtual six anyway. What did you and your friends in the Philippines think of our idiot in chief's visit recently?

reply by Walu Feral on 19-Nov-2017

Here, in Cebu, nobody that I spoke to even knew he was here lol. We are one of the few with a TV, so they don't find out much. I used to be like that, both in the desert and the rain-forest. Ignorance is bliss lol.

reply by the author on 19-Nov-2017

Yes, frequently ignorance is bliss. I heard there were riots protesting his visit and police used water cannons to try to disperse the crowds. I feel I should apologize even though I didn't vote for him. I'm embarrassed that he is supposed to represent us.

Yeah, Manila people tend to get excited.

I have to say that the elephant trophy thing has pissed me off... pardon my french. Surely they won't reverse the ban!

reply by the author on 19-Nov-2017

A lot of people are pissed off. Trump now says he will "delay" lifting the ban until he has all the facts. Pretty much admitting he lifted the ban without all the facts, or that he didn't care until there was a huge backlash against it. His sons like to trophy hunt which is disgusting.

reply by Walu Feral on 19-Nov-2017

I hate that stuff! We hunted for food and no other reason! We were conservationists... these jerks are just plain and simple environmental terrorists! Sheesh! I'm still angry about it.

reply by the author on 19-Nov-2017

I guess some people have to show how tough they are by killing animals with their high powered rifles from hundreds of yards away. They are a very long way from people who really showed how tough they were by killing a lion with a spear, alone. Yes, they are disgusting. Want to really show how big and bad you are, sneak up on a lion with nothing but a camera.
We sometimes refer to people who kill senselessly as animals. But animals rarely kill for no reason.
