'I promise I'll do it - later,'
Means no-one will get the job done
Later is a mythical land
Where neither good nor bad folk come
Later is like a reminder
But alas it will ever come
Like heaven, all wait for later
Where forgotten deeds will be done
At four you think that later's soon
At six it's myth like life on moon
At eighty you no longer care
Later is neither here nor there
Later is a kind of polite
Way of saying, no, not tonight
If later's what they want to say
I don't mind, I live for today.
