Dilatory

Putting on the putting off

Leads to yet another story,

While the moans of lazy bones

Speaks in volumes dilatory.

 

If the season captures reason

In the rhythm of the rhyme,

Chances are the pithy plan will

Meet demand to end on time.

 

But if sidetracks switch the cargo

And the focus goes awry,

Who is left the beastly burden?

Who explains the where and why?

 

Let me be the fiend of focus,

Crack the whip and set the course,

Dash the dilatory demon,

Banish him with lethal force.

 

Heroes haunt the halls of rescue

Never seeking fame or glory,

Always in the nick of time,

Never late or dilatory.
