I Love Delaying Until Tomorrow — Gives Me Something To Look Forward To

Fifty Word Challenge #51: Procrastination

You can’t waste something that doesn’t exist! (Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay)

Folks cry I get nothing done (talkin’ ‘bout procrastination) Just because I fart around (talkin’ ‘bout procrastination) Things I do go awful slow (talkin’ ‘bout procrastination) At least I try, I’m getting old (talkin’ ‘bout procrastination)

Love hesitation Work short duration Today vacation With no frustration Procrastination My fav’rite sensation

Backstory

The morning after I discovered Melissa R. Mendelson’s prompt, the song My Generation by The Who (don’t ask if you’re not a Baby Boomer) whirled around my head. As it rhymes with procrastination, I spent time (an alien concept) writing a parody.

I’ve been busy having fun — that’s the best way to get things done. I could have carried on parodying the entire song but would have exceeded the word limit, so did the first verse and chorus only.

Maybe I’ll carry on later instead of working on my draft about that daft governor of Florida.

This version of My Generation is performed by The Zimmers — proof that us old folks still rock.

Thank you for being here.
