THE HEART’S DESIRE
PROCRASTINATION. ,1 know a land where the streets are pa ved With the things which we want to achieve; It is walled with the money we meant to have saved: And the pleasures for which we grieve, The kind words unspoken, the promises broken, And many a coveted boon Are stored away in that land somewhere, — In the land of Pretty Soon.
There are uncut jewels of possible fame Lying about in the dust; And many a noble and lofty aim Covered with mould and rust. And oh! this place, while it seems so near, Is further away than the moon; Though our purpose is fair, we never get there, — To the Land of Pretty Soon. —E. W. Wilcox. -X- •& Not only strike while the iron is hot hut make it hot by striking. —Oliver Cromwell.
