Don’t Dilly Dally

Don’t Dilly Dally

Never put off doing until tomorrow what you can do today
Who knows but that tomorrow may never come your way
We are but passing ships in the middle of the night 
Disappearing into the darkness over the horizon’s line of sight
One’s existence on earth is in the harsh hands of destiny
Only a conciseness of a succinctness with briefness brevity
Tipping over the edge of eternity without a moments thought
Humanity is not invincible nor can agedness be bought

So don’t dilly dally those desirables that dance betwixt your head
Make a point of doing them
It’s too late when your dead
Like an unexploded bomb our lives ticks away
Until we meet our maker on that definite doomsday
Yes our presence on this planet is precarious
Alas one’s departure of dissolution is nefarious
‘Burying your head in the sand’
Well what’s the point it that
Do it while you still can
While you can still wear a hat

LOL! Great advice, Jillmeister! Wonderfully penned. 
I loved that last line! I can't wear a hat anymore due to a recent decapitation by some Sioux Indians, but I'm thinking of renting a head from Melon World, so I can get back into the hat wearing contingent. Did you know that a ten gallon hat does not actually hold ten gallons? I've recently begun a lawsuit against the makers of such hats, due to their false advertising, but the judge kicked me in the groin and threw the case out. I have an appeal started with some herring...that's not going well either. 
Great job! 

Matthew.

Absolutely...I think(??). 
I just got a settlement decision in the case...I owe 11 million dollars...hmmmm...that worked out bad...I guess. Oh well, time for a new lawsuit! I'm now suing Colonel Sanders(the KFC guy), for not being a real colonel yet ordering me to eat his chicken pieces. Wish me luck. Thanks.
