The clock is moving
the date is changing
but my work is not improving.
I set things aside
and tell myself they'll be done.
I wait for tomorrow
but there is no chance
that I'll give a glance.
To that work,
unless it's due
the very next day,
if so I'll brew.
Some work that took me a few hours to do
it might take long
it might not be fun,
but my favorite words
that I like to say
are that it can be done another day.
