Work to be done
I cannot do my work is what he had said
With my room a mess and the dog to be fed
So he fed the dog and cleaned the room
Then sat at his desk with an appending gloom
I cannot do my work is what he had said
Theirs dishes to be done and I’m low on lead
So he sharped his pencil and gave the dishes a clean
Then sat at his desk to work it would seem
I cannot do my work is what he had said
For the hairs too long upon my head
He went down stairs and gave himself a shave
Then sat back at his desk with a look most grave
I cannot do my work is what he had said
For I’ve procrasted so long I must now go to bed
