"A stitch in time may save nine,
But wear it now cos it fits just fine,
Then allow it require more stitches;
Experience doesn't know what she teaches.

“They may say “time is money”,
But that term is now corny;
For it might have held in times past,
But time no longer runs as fast.

"Sleep now and leave it to a later date;
Suspend it, I'm sure everything can wait;
Remain in bed and leave it all to fate;
You sure won't be falling for any bait.

"Not doing it now doesn't spell lazy,
For the bed is cozy and the weather, hazy;
Even the wise say we make hay in the sunshine,
But it's dark now and the clouds are not as fine.

"It's best to remain lying in this position,
As though in a state of indisposition,
For though poverty may knock on the door,
Work will definitely be some sort of bore.

"Don't dare learn a lesson from the ant,
Who carry weights so heavy that they normally can't;
Take a cue from the owl who sleeps all day,
And works all night but don't or you may fall prey.

"And that's how I keep you lying like there's an infirmity,
And make 24 hours seem to you like infinity,
So that you are always poor,
Like a hiding rat behind the church door.

"You say I'm the progenitor of laziness,
And that I breed losses in your business,
But I only possess those on bed after the bell chime,
I am procrastination, the notorious thief of time".
