Belated Birthday (Acrostic)


Procrastination tempts us all, Regaling us with promised time, Omitting, though, this troubled fact: Clipped-out minutes would be thine. Removing time from future selves, Assaulting goals you've yet to make, Stealing - let's not hide the word! Time not yours you chose to take! In moderation, it's a help, Nabbing minutes you don't need. Abundant, it's a detriment - Those butterflies you failed to heed. In words I do defend One failure to a friend - Now my poem's at its end.

The Library Minion

I am devoted to libraries. I love the concepts of freedom of information and self-education: if I don't know something, I can always looks it up! I enjoy working with kids and with words, although I refuse to contemplate which is harder.
