"Procrastination" Tales Of Mere Existence

This morning I got up
and got ready quickly

because I had to get
a lot of stuff done.

I sat down at my desk
to start getting my stuff done

and I spilled my coffee
so I got a sponge to clean it up

and I figured I'd take an extra minute
to clean the whole desk

because a clean desk
would help me get my stuff done.

When I was finished
I realized I hadn't eaten anything

and I didn't want to be hungry
while I got my stuff done

so I went into the kitchen
and I was out of cereal.

When I got to the grocery store,

I remembered a bunch of other crap
I needed to get

and I figured I was already there

so I did my shopping for the week

so I didn't have to worry about it
while I got my stuff done.

When I got home
I didn't feel like cereal anymore

and so I made an omelet
and I did the dishes

so I wouldn't have to do them
after I got my stuff done

and then I went out to get some oil
from the hardware store

because my desk chair
was kind of squeaky

and I didn't want to be distracted
by a squeaky chair

while I got my stuff done.

When I got back
it was getting kind of late

and I knew I wouldn't be able
to get my stuff done today

so I started watching
the Twilight Zone marathon on TV.

I just have to make sure
I get to bed early

because I want to be
well rested tomorrow

so I can get my stuff done.
