The Procrastinator's Poem

Writer's picture: Lucas Lucas

In a world of words and paper,

I set out to write, a daring caper.

A book so grand, a tale so wise,

But alas, my pen just sits and sighs.

Procrastination, my closest friend,

In its clutches, I descend.

The blank page mocks, with empty stare,

As I pretend I just don't care.

I'll start tomorrow, or the next,

For now, Netflix calls, what's next?

A hero's journey, a thrilling plot,

But my remote control's all I've got.

The characters wait, in limbo they roam,

In a literary purgatory, they find no home.

The deadline looms, a distant threat,

Yet here I am, a master of regret.

I sharpen pencils, organize my shelf,

Anything to avoid the daunting self.

The cursor blinks, a rhythmic taunt,

As my coffee cools, a bitter haunt.

I ponder life's mysteries, lost in thought,

The book remains unwritten, a tale uncaught.

But fear not, dear reader, for one fine day,

I'll sit down and write, come what may.

For now, the saga of my procrastination,

A tale of epic hesitation.

But in the end, the book will be penned,

Perhaps when my Netflix binge finally ends.
