Humor: Procrastinators
Delay provides time for wiser decisions, right?
PROCRASTINATORS:
If at first you don’t succeed,
hopefully there is a tomorrow.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Today is the "tomorrow"
procrastinators were waiting for yesterday.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Procrastinators don’t want a 48-hour day.
They want a tomorrow that is 48 hours away!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Procrastinators are sure that
what “needs to be done today,”
is something that can wait for the right today,
which generally is at least the one tomorrow turns into.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Procrastinators’ Motto: never put off until another day,
that which can be put off until another month.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Procrastinators tend to apply for jobs as waiters.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Unlike most males their age,
procrastinators have fewer fears about proposing marriage.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Procrastinators are not likely to be
looking out the window to know
as soon as the mail gets delivered.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Sometimes even I am put off
by my putting off!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The "Master Procrastinator" is the one who
puts off the putting off, until tomorrow.

Surely a procrastinator's favorite sayings would have to include this one: "Haste makes waste."

It's Saturday. So what are YOU putting off today?

Aren't we glad that most people we know (with a few exceptions) don't pur off getting dressed each day?

Angie Jardine: You gave me a good chuckle and a lingering smile with your comment that you almost put off reading this, but are glad you didn't. Touche!

I've put off replying to your comments until now, but now I will have to wait until I remember what I was going to say!
Puts me in mind of the song from "My Fair Lady" called "with a little bit of luck"
Quite clever, acerbic, and utterly accurate observations. Loved them. Good Hub.
Tres amusing. I almost put off reading this one ... so glad I didn't.
As Queen of procrastinators, I can vouch for the above and soooooo much more lol. Thanks for pointing these out ;)
Because the arthritis has flared up in my hands, I do have to put a few thing off until the swelling leaves.
