They call me the
procrastinaion queen.
I'll site some examples,
to show what I mean.
It started with my birth,
or so I've heard them
state.
The doctor induced labor;
I was already three
weeks late.
Late to talk, late to
walk, late to start to
school.
Instead of an exception,
procrastination was my
rule.
Essays and reports all
had points taken away.
Because they were late,
by two or three days.
Now as an adult,
I have
responsibilities.
But procrastination is
still my major theme.
That is why tomorrow,
the last day before
a fine,
you'll find my at the
license bureau,
standing in that line.

It does sound like you have earned your title as the Queen of Procrastination. This was truly humerous to me for the fact that you had the perfect key for procrastination; being late(lol). I want to thank you for entering my "The Procrastination Station" contest.

Oh this is wonderful. I'm glad I'm not the only one to put things off. I love the time progression in this write. Well done. I love the last stanza. Great work.

Oh, this is so cute. Late for everything, huh? Let's hope it will run that way for you 'at the end'..lol.
So many people have this problem. I was early for everything....still am, most of the time. But I have my days where I definitely 'procrastinate'...feel I deserve it..lol.
I like this. Says a lot without being 'over-wordy'. Reads nicely. Good images. Good wording.
Good luck in your contest.
