National Poetry Writing Month: Day Twenty, "Master Procrastinator"

 

My, look at all the work I have to do,
Assignments and shifts and exam revision too.
I really should crack on with it all,
But with a week left, surely I’m allowed to stall.

So maybe instead I’ll watch some T.V,
There’s probably nothing on but I’ll still go and see.
Okay, I’m bored of that now so I should start working,
Especially since the deadlines seem to be lurking.

But then again, the PlayStation seems too appealing,
And the thought of work has left me reeling.
Now the final date isn’t far away,
But what’s the difference if I put it off one more day.

My film collection is exhausted and so am I,
But deep down I know that excuse won’t fly.
What do you know, it seems tomorrow is deadline day already,
I get the feeling tonight’s gonna be long and heavy.
