There is a Purpose

Procrastination: 

the act of delaying 

something that must be 

done often because it is 

unpleasant or boring” ~

Cambridge online dictionary


        ~~~~~~


Dust has been banished, 

soap scum put in it’s place ~ 

down the drain, 

mirrors polished, 

floors devoid of cat hair, ……


and all the while I wondered:

“What are you procrastinating about? 

You dislike finicky housework?”


Not the first time with the puzzle, 

but now I know. 

I know that problems need sorting. 

The sorting that arises from

 the act of ‘finicky cleaning’


You may laugh, 

you may guffaw, 

you may snort in disgust 


but I see my thoughts 

attached to the vacuum, 

the rag that scrubs grime, 

the folding of stray tablecloths

until I have an orderly list of to do’s.


Tax time is always confusing!


“Organizing is what you do before you do something, 

so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.”

~ A.A.Milne
