The Idler

This is a poem about laziness.

The Idler

 

 

 

Spending my days in idle fantasy

I dream away the time

Thinking laziness is a crime

Oh, to live in a mansion is ecstasy

 

The time goes slowly by

and people come and go

I wonder why it is so

That no one gives me a try

 

Spending my time in a daze

Life is slowly slipping away

Everything is the same every day

The future is a misty haze

 

One day I’ll show my mettle

I’ll find some task where I excel

Who knows? Only time will tell

For the moment, I’ll boil the kettle

A day dreams poem. Procrastination is their friend. And also their worse enemy. Delaying the inevitable they have to do. Get up and actually do things. :)
