Definition: To put off until a later time; to defer.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a peek,
At this word “delayed,” a concept we seek!
The dictionary tells us, clear and bright,
“To put off ‘til later,” with all its might.
Think of a birthday, you've got plans to make,
But decide to postpone, for goodness sake!
You’re delaying the party, holding it back,
Until a more suitable time, on a different track.
Or maybe homework sits there, piling high,
You tell yourself, “I’ll do it later, by and by!”
That's "delayed," you see, a simple plea,
To postpone action for a future decree.
So "delayed" means to wait, to hold on tight,
And move something forward with a little light...
A bit later than planned, that’s the key,
Understanding “delayed” is good for you and me!
Does that make sense? Any questions you might pose?
