The Word Later Doesn't Really Exsist
It Is Not Now And Not Soon
So what is it ?
It's a trick by parents to promise something
They know you will forget
To get your hopes up
Too many factors to figure in
They all tell you the same thing
It's not going to happen
Now or anytime soon
Maybe never
So don't be fooled or tricked
When someone says later
They are really saying
Forget about it
I am telling you from experience
Nine out of ten times
It is a really bad ratio
No booky would ever think it was a win
Such a long shot
They would give you 100 to1 odds
Who is kidding who ?
I am a positive person
There is no way to change the outcome
They are just to great
All against you
Some examples of later
When someone borrows money
You listen to their words carefully
As soon they say later
Grab your money right back and say I changed my mind
Sorry ask someone else
If someone borrows your tools
Consider it gone
One day leads into the next
Before long
They say things like
I gave that back
I returned it long time ago
Why would I be asking you for it you if I gave it back
It makes no sense
If someone offers to buy you a drink next time when you buy the first round
Get your drink as soon as you can
If they say later
It's a trap
You are the bait and the trap is set
So don't get upset
It is just the way the world is
It is an understood language all of it's own
When too much time passes
Our minds are made to forget
Think of all the meals you had just last week
Do you remember ?
How about the week before?
They are all forgotten
Later has a long and bad history
When you were a kid and said to mom
I will clean my room later
What you are really saying
I can't be bothered
You can ask me later but you know the answer
Think of everyone who has used the word
Your boss when you asked for a raise
Not right now
Later
When business improves a little
When you get a little more experience
The door is left open
There is no set time
Everyone knows it
It is somewhere in never, never land
Out on a date
Your girlfriend says I will call you
If she doesn't say later
You have a shot
When a husband tells his wife he will fix something
Followed by the words later
You better off fixing it yourself
If your in the mood for love
You look into your wife's eyes
She looks back at you and says
The magic words
Later
It's not going to happen
Just find something else to do
Get your mind off of it
She has other plans and that's not one of them
You ever see an old friend
Well catch up
Later
You and I both know
Years will pass
Have you ever said those famous words ?
I will go to the gym later
It is hard to get there
Things come up
The gym just gets farther and farther away
Until it is another day
So now that we have covered a few times
How about you ?
Have you had the pleasure ?
Of dealing with Later?
When a wife tells her husband
