(C) A Personal Poem About Procrastination
Always, in the
depths of my imagination,
Percolates a thought
that sometimes achieves realisation.
Even politicians
must resort to clarification,
Reliant as I am upon
your close examination;
Society often
infuriates me with their benign abomination.
Of course… I
wouldn’t canvas for outright exploitation,
Neither is I falling
prey to abject desperation.
Alright, now that I
have your rapt adjudication,
Let me now wax
lyrical in grateful appreciation.
Perhaps, I should be
clearer in the specification,
Often it’s something
trivial needing a little amplification.
Excuse me if I delay
arrival at the destination,
My dithering about
can create some consternation.
A prime example is:
the long period of time that it took to complete my dissertation!
By any standard, I
could have lost accreditation.
Oh dear! Am I taxing
your powers of concentration?
Under sufferance I
suspect is your continuation.
Trust me; I eschew obfuscation and espouse elucidation.
Personal development
is the objective of this rumination.
Rehashing old ideas
should be subject to conflagration,
Overworked sentences
are passé by implication.
Come now, I’m not
resorting to crude intimidation!
Relax and maybe,
you’ll enjoy this mental masturbation.
Another time, this
silly rhyme, would cause you constipation.
Stifle that yawn and
let’s keep on with this regurgitation.
There are only eight
more lines to go to grasp illumination.
In truth, aloof, I
must confess to being full of exhilaration.
Never before did I
explore such crass interpretation.
And I do hope that
you can cope with elite, alliteration.
Trembling now (I
hope you are) with mounting anticipation.
Impressed, I guess
are all of you with this proliferation?
Obviously, you now comprende my fixation and pre-occupation.
Naturally, this is a
personal poem about procrastination. Plus...

(C) Not Really!
Not really
procrastination, just mere prevarication.
Ok I lied; I just
tried some prosaic prestidigitation.*
Tis mere wordplay;
it’s my forte,
my form of relaxation.
Russian Roulette is
a safer bet if you have any expectation.
Especially, with a
rogue like me, so no interrogation!
Are you now
confused, amused, or in exasperation?
Literally speaking,
I’m now weakening my communication.
Let’s leave it
there, now that I’ve bared the gap in my vocation.
You see, I’ve merely
procrastinated with: procrastination.

* Sleight of hand, also
known as prestidigitation ("quick fingers") or legerdemain,
is the set of techniques used by a magician
(or card sharp) to manipulate objects such
as cards and coins secretly.
