My room is a disaster

my homework isn't done

a rough-draft essay,

due Tuesday,

is still in outline form.

It'd be fine if it was Thursday,

Friday, even Saturday,

but here it is Sunday,

five o'clock, P.M.

I've been formulating excuses

for the things I have not done,

but the list is too long

for any of them to be

believed.

What am I to do? I ask,

What am I to do?

But to answer myself,

the only words I say

are I have no clue.


The author's comments:

I am a natural procrastinator, especially with chores or school work, but, of course, it never ends well.
