ODE TO PROCRASTINATION

by Tony Blyth

Oh, how I procrastinate,
I wait and wait and wait and wait
The weathers' fine it's much too hot
It's raining now the day is shot

I think I better leave my work
To go and have a little shirk
Tomorrow is the perfect time
To ring up all those clients of mine

I'll start the day at half-past five
Boy! will I show them who's alive
I'll sit right down beside the phone
And ring my finger to the bone

But wait! Tomorrow Friday's here
My clients will all be drinking beer
If I should ring on such a day
I'm bound to turn them all away

I'll tell you what I think I'll do
I'll start on Monday, wouldn't you
Of course! That makes a lot more sense
That way they can't all take offense

And in the meantime I can plot
A way to make my prospects hot
Aha! I think Ive got it beat
This time wasting I will defeat

Sometimes I worry far too much
'Bout letting time slip through my clutch
'Cause all I really need to do
Is see it from a different view

Did you pigeon poo was considered to be an invaluable resource in the 16th, 17th and 18th century in Europe?

That's right, SeachRE, Pigeon poop was a highly prized fertilizer and considered to be far more potent than farmyard manure. So prized in fact that armed guards were stationed at the entrances to dovecotes (pigeon houses) to stop thieves stealing it! Not only this, but in England in the 16th century pigeon poop was the only known source of saltpeter, an essential ingredient of gunpowder and was considered a highly valued commodity as a result. In Iran, where eating pigeon flesh was forbidden, dovecotes were set up and used simply as a source of fertilizer for melon crops and in France and Italy it was used to fertilize vineyards and hemp crops.

What did you think of the bird lady in Mary Poppins?
