Today and tomorrow, early and late
I'm ready to move on, please wait
I'm learning all the vital words
Spanish and Swahili, must be heard
The trouble is I contemplate
Am I the mistress of my fate?
Today I'm already too late
Today's poem will have to wait
I'm still correcting yesterday's
I went to bed expecting praise
I woke, and saw no comma, a space
Typos and erors all ove the place
I edit to set it all right
Pefecting what seemed right last night
I need to fix, mend, yesterday
Before I move on to today
Alas the clock said it was noon
And heading for the afternoon
I've sorted yesterday, moved on
Ready to start more things half done.
