Notice to Myself
Don't procrastinate:
it's time to vacate
shilly-shallying
dilly-dallying
idling sidling
ambling rambling
piddling fiddling
twiddling diddling
doodling noodling
and get right down to
non-shirk
work.
Eve Merriam
I just love this cute poem! It correctly portrays my life at the moment as I am a huge procrastinate. Eve Merriam uses funny unique words that even though they may have no many it gets the point across of what procrastinating means. This would be a neat poem to share with children for them to learn about procrastination. The book I got this poem from is from Knock at a Star: A Child's Introduction to Poetry which was mentioned in our Temple Text. In this poem Eve uses great elements of poetry. She touches on a certain rhytm by her word usage. She makes this poem really fun for children of all ages.
