Procrastination

I need to study for my test tomorrow
it's all about the court
I started writing my ten page paper days ago
but its still ten pages short
I wonder if my professor will notice
If I am not in class
I need to finish that assignment
about how sand turns into glass
It's not my fault
and if you listen I can explain
I was away rescuing my 12th cousin
from the great African plain
After that I couldn't leave
It's a tradition I did not know
after rescuing a cousin
you must stay and watch a show
After words I clapped real loud
and tried to leave to study for my test
Unfortunately when you clap too hard
they send you on a quest
So off I went to accomplish
this task that was at hand
regrettably two hours later
I stepped in sinking sand
As I sunk my mind drifted
to all my school work undone
Oh how I dreaded dying
and missing out on all the fun
But luckily my cousin saved me
he has such a caring heart
But when we jumped into his jeep
that car just would not start
Are you starting to see the picture?
I really really tried
But everything kept going wrong
I am still uncertain why
So please do not blame me
I was lost in Africa for a week
and when I got back to do my homework
I was simply just too weak
So an extension on my paper
maybe a makeup for my test
After all if you want me to recover
then I do need all my rest
So I'll call you in a week or two
when I start feeling well
The other students never need to know
I Promise I will not tell
What do you mean it's still due tomorrow?
Oh this must be my fate
One thing that Africa taught me
Is not to Procrastinate.
