At the Eleventh Hour

[A quatrain I wrote for a friend on his 23rd birthday. Isn't it funny how some people have lists of things to do before they turn xx? I used to be one of those people.]

If one year were one hour then
A year in the day is left;
So toil hard this hour past eleven,
And party after the twelfth.!

You used to be one? What changed?

I've come to think that now's as good a time as any, and setting a birthday as a deadline to do things is being either lax or harsh on oneself.
