Procrastination Tango
Hi there, pile of work. I know your due date is looming,
So I’ll do you tomorrow.
But tomorrow I have to work and work out and
Go visit that friend who feels so neglected
And butt hurt, so I’ll do you the day after, even though
That is the day before the day you’re to be done by.
Hi there, sweet pile of work, I haven’t forgotten you.
Not really, you're always in the left back corner of my mind
next to shoes, shopping lists, and emails I need to send next week,
But there’s that special on the history channel
And I think it would make me smarter to know about history,
And I really like to know about ancient battles
(so I can sound smart and interesting at parties).
So you’ll get done tomorrow morning.
I’ll get up early and make some coffee,
Except we don’t have any more coffee,
So I’ll make tea, and sit in my thick knit sweater
And do you, my dear work, and look bohemian with my tea
And my sweater and my glasses,
all responsible and on top of things so early in the morning.
Oh dear, my pile o’ paperwork! I slept in and now I have to go to work work,
But you’re due today, though my boss is out of town on business,
So it won’t kill her if you get done tonight after I get home.
Except that I’ll need to eat dinner with my sweetheart,
And I deserve a break after working all day, right?
So I’ll just watch this half hour show and sit down
With my computer and a big bottle of water.
I’ll listen to my music and plow right through,
Except the album I just imported is missing artwork
So I need to get that or it’ll bug me all night.
Ok, now that’s in order, but my desk is a mess.
Ok, now that’s in order, but I need to post something on the facebook.
Ok, now that’s in order, but I have to send out an email.
Ok, now it’s all in order, and I can work!
I need to pee…
