&quo...Love Robert Service.

On the one hand, I L...Mixed feelings here, Boss...<br /><br />On the one hand, I LOVE the poems -- all will be printed and framed and added to my "I love me" wall in my Den.<br /><br />On the other hand, I'm depressed as all hell -- for we all must know that we are The Remnant of those who could appreciate such wisdom.<br /><br />Today?<br /><br />"Ode to a Slacker"<br />...<br />Landlord knocking at the door. Rent is due.<br />Go 'way landlord. No rent check for you.<br />Jesus said: "Hey, dig them birds. They don't bother or fuss."<br />Gotta hurry, or I'll miss my bus.<br /><br />I wanna strap-hang like Yevtushenko<br />Dance to the lute of Pan.<br />But it's off to flip some burgers -- or it's cornflakes & Spam.<br /><br />Marie Antoinette said: "Let 'em eat cake."<br />Got some Ring Dings in the cupboard. Guess I'm okay.<br />Call out, call out -- take a sick day.<br /><br />Back to bed. Watch the TV.<br />Infomercials! Infomercials!<br />Do I wanna be an electrician? Maybe an M.D.?<br />No. No. No. Just wanna be me."<br /><br />Or -- more like -- "The Procrastinator's Creed:<br />1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.<br />2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.<br />3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.<br />4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.<br />5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.<br />6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.<br />7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesimally small, is not exactly zero.<br />8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.<br />9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.<br />10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.<br />11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.<br />12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.<br />13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.<br />14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator's Society) if they ever get it organized.Dedicated_Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375339835638311982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-49446634661130868652011-04-24T18:39:58.717-05:002011-04-24T18:39:58.717-05:00True inspiration, sorely needed.
