Why do people always put off and wait,
To the last minute to keep or break a date
For they know it's bad to think of breaking off,
An appointment that should merit than a bluff.
Nothing is disappointing to the involved,
Than to hear the telephone ring and the hostess say loud
"YOu can't make it then for your place is all set,
No, it's too late for me to try to get anyone yet"
Standing a corner is too bad for those
Who had date to go the show
Because there is way of letting he she know,
