Lamberick
When the fleet-footed ewe and the ram
are approached by a lion, they scram.
But the tastiest meat
isn’t fast on its feet,
and the lion lies down with the lamb.
Procrastination
Procrastina-
tion, take a bow.
You win the day,
I must admit.
But though you may
be gloating now,
I have to say
I will commit
without delay
to take a vow
to change my way
in just a bit.
