Procrastination Takes Action, a Villanelle
Ideas come through as dreamy thought
‘Well, sometime I’d like to try that out’
Take action, or it’s all for naught
A fulfilling life is a thing well sought
Time always wins, in fact it’s a rout
Ideas come through as dreamy thought
Pay your dues we’re often taught
New thoughts, ideas, left in self-doubt
Take action, or it’s all for naught
Home from work, you’ve toiled and fought
Drudgery lingers as one long bout
Ideas come through as dreamy thought
Some are content with things that are bought
Wealth gone stagnant plays with gout
Take action, or it’s all for naught
Inspiration is something to be caught
Nothing to stop and learn about
Ideas come through as dreamy thought
Take action, or it’s all for naught
