jerry hughes - ROBERT aka ROB

Heart of gold, generous to a fault.
Intelligent, well read and articulate,
but a procrastinator extraordinaire.
He'd cancel tomorrow if he could, it
might bring a moment of decision.

Rob lives by this simple rule, put off
indefinitely that which can, that which
can't can wait a year or two, or three.
If there were more Rob's in the world
there'd be no wars, in the time it took
them to decide, they'd be too old to fight.
