The Best Time

The best time to eat the cake is now
Fresh from that brainy oven
Soft, tender and delicious
Shiny, colorful and appealing
The aroma is as strong as it is delicious
Invoking the profuse salivation of appetite
That senses an impending feast
There is no better time to enjoy a cake than now

When you instead choose to procrastinate
Postponing the cake to the next day
It will go cold, hard and unappealing
There won’t be any aroma anymore
The appetite will walk away betrayed
The zeal will be gone unimpressed
The opportunity will pass quietly in resignation
The ideas will scatter away in oblivion
Excitement will lose his throne to boredom
Why waste time dithering, doubting and postponing?
