Procrastination

Aa Harvey

Procrastination

 

 

A bird chirps to get me out of bed,

But I am still resting my head and I don’t want to get up yet.

It’s nice and cozy under these blankets

And I haven’t got to go to work today,

So I am deciding what to do next.

 

 

I will get up, but I don’t want to.

I will make myself a nice breakfast

And for lunch I will have soup;

But I will not be cooking tonight because I have a date.

I must not be late.  I think she said to meet at eight…

 

 

Or was it seven?  Or half past?  Oh well.

I will figure it out;

I have no doubt,

Things they will all be just swell.

 

 

I am sure she will text me before then,

So I can pretend that I knew all along…

Maybe I will finish writing that song,

That I have been working on.

 

 

It’s so nice and warm beneath my quilt,

So why move at all when I can be happy being still?

But still I am hungry, so up I will get

And make myself some toast,

But I am so bored of bread!

My body needs sustenance and I think I need porridge;

My stomach will just have to be patient for a while

And somehow I will manage.
