Procrastination tactic's

Yes I feel the need
blank is my funk
no hurry
less speed
sitting on my trunk

Surely it can wait
I don't want to
no mind
easy bait
something better to do

Most definably tomorrow
I will get the idea

Most definitely tomorrow
I will find the time

Most defiantly tomorrow
I will remember why

Why, I did it before
made a big deal
so close
now so far
Jesus take my wheel

I will surely pay you tuesday
for a pass today
what me?
re play
as she talks away

Most definably tomorrow
I will get the idea

Most definitely tomorrow
I will find the time

Most defiantly tomorrow
I will remember why

So when I heard it all
not about to buckle
no more
last call
gave my last chuckle

Give up, my drama queen
not even a chance
move it
and clean
this is not your dance..

This has a rap-like rhythm to it Julie

Oh this is fun, a romp and a promise, tomorrow, I am always told don't put off today what you could do -the day AFTER tomorrow, just joking! Giving up your trunk, that reminds me of an old trunk of grey metal, once used to visit India by some member of my family long ago, I still have tit too, used it for the short time I was at a boarding school, it was light but solid, each child had one; I wonder if they still do, those huge things that needed porters to move about- no porters to be seen nowadays, I don't think you meant that sort of trunk did you Julie? This has a rap-like rhythm to it and with the trunk I hear it clattering through the poem, I enjoyed the ride, not quite sure what the nuances will mean here as I don't know the teenager, never having had any myself.

I really must learn how to

I really must learn how to write lyrics and rap. That is a common comment on my work. And greatly appreaciated bueatiful Ann of Norway, Queen of hearts. Espeacialy mine! Thanks for the read. And teenagers don't make sense to parents, let alone non parents! Thats par for the coarse. lol. And she isn't "giving up her trunk" she is "sitting on her trunk" Rap relation actually. In current culture "trunk" means "butt" "Sitting on my trunk" lol. First 2 parts are the procrastination, the last part is how I handle it. So switched views. Thanks for the read. I fixed my last one as well, your help was greatly appreaciated. It should read much better. Julie D.D.

No I switched the words, to

No I switched the words, to imply different implications or lack of understanding them, rotating. May be it Didn't work? Should they be the same. Should they all be definitely? That was something I was unsure of it. It wrote it self great. But it trips me up when I say it out loud. Definably. As in she would get the idea definable tommorrow. As in she will take the time out of her busy day to try and understand my explanations of her responsiblitys and never ending excuses. Tommorrow. Implying, she obviously is not getting it "today" when she was asked or is supposed to be accomplishing something. What did you think of = "And I surely will pay you next tuesday, for a pass today." As in free pass. It was a pun on the popeye hamburger charecter, I am forgetting his name. "Surely I will pay you next tuesday for a hamburger today" But truthfully she is a great teen, little to smart and smart ass. So am I. But she does what she is supposed to. But it took time to get here. We had a late start. Thanks for reading Dale, Julie D.D.

Pish no worries Dale, And I

Pish no worries Dale, And I do it the old fashioned way. No tracker. I read each email update. But I have every plan of paying for a premium membership with my tax return. If you love Neo, you gotta show it! And I am sure the tracker will be a bonus. Thanks for coming back indi, and for your input. Julie D.D.
