Dilatory ... Trap

Today's word is "dilatory" ... DIL-uh-tawr-ree ... tending to delay or procrastinate; slow; tardy. (Dictionary.com)

Trap
How does it happen,
When things seem fine,
A task appears,
That begins to unwind.

And other tasks seem,
To lift up their heads,
And think to themselves,
We too can spread.

And together they weave,
A web of destruction,
Which sticks to your resolve,
And stops your production.

So if you feel dilatory,
You're not really to blame,
Circumstances untamed,
Will tempt you to shame.
