I forget to pay my bills on time.
My car runs out of gas.
My clothes are two years out of style.
I'm late for memory class.
My letters to my closest friends
Are once-a-year events.
I still have cards to mail
That have stamps of seven cents.
My driver's license has expired.
My library books are late.
I have knitted half a sweater.
And my yogurts out of date.
I put off till tomorrow
What was due last month for me.
If it doesn't disappear or hurt,
How important can it be?
I didn't feel in tune with things.
My lists would never cease,
But then I joined this clever club,
And now I am at peace.
Who cares if things are left undone?
There's next week, don't you see?
I'm not alone, and thanks to you,
There's other folks like me!
