The Tomorrow Club

I’ll get to it. Maybe. Tomorrow.

I made a list of things to do,
A noble plan, a task or two
I sharpened pencils, cleaned my chair,
Then somehow reorganized my hair

I opened up my laptop screen,
Prepared to work both hard and keen
But first, I thought, “A snack would help.”
Then ate enough to feed an elf

I checked the weather. Checked it twice.
Compared forecasts. Took advice.
Though I had nowhere planned to go,
I felt it was good stuff to know

I started cleaning out a drawer,
Then found some photos from before
Three hours later I could say,
I’d traveled through my past all day

My laundry sat. The dishes too.
The things I’d promised I would do
Remained exactly where they’d been,
While I researched the violin

I watched a video called How -
To stop procrastinating now
It lasted nearly half a day,
A productive waste of time, I’d say

The deadline knocked. I looked away.
“We’ll talk,” I told it, “just not today”
It sighed and pulled up one more chair,
Quite used to finding me right there

At last I rose with fierce intent,
Determined, focused, hell-bent
I made a plan, reviewed it twice….
Then thought tomorrow might suffice

So if you’ve meant to do that thing,
Since early fall or maybe spring
Yet somehow still have not come through,
The Tomorrow Club welcomes you

Our meetings start at half past ten….
Or maybe noon. We’ll see. And then - 
We’ll pick a date and make a plan,

We’ll get around to it….
When we can 😄
