I think I caught procrastination.
It’s not so easy to cure.
It’s possible I’ve had it all my life.
I couldn’t say for sure.
Procrastination is quite contagious.
It makes me slow you see.
It is affecting me right now.
It is controlling me.
If I could find a cure I wouldn’t.
It’s not like I don’t want to.
I might do it in a little while,
When I have less to do.
My symptoms are the worst in the morning,
When I don’t wanna get up.
It’s getting worse by the day.
I sit and just say yup.
I walk around wasting my time.
I should stay on task.
I prepare myself to start the mission,
But then I just sit and bask.
I list the things I should be doing,
But I just doodle instead.
I wish I didn’t have this disease.
I probably should be in bed.
Sure I have good intentions,
But everything is last minute.
Things still get done with my disability,
I push it to the limit.
I wish my condition was more convincing,
It’s serious stuff you know!
I’m not making it up this time.
This is not a new low.
I really do have the procrastination.
It’s in my blood you see.
My Mom had procrastination longer
She waited nine months to have me.

There is something I can relate too. Careful of procrastination. A lot of good books never got written because people were going to get a round to it. (I know where you can buy a round tuit), The way you describe the day, going along, just saying yup, that's classic. We all do that I think.

LMAO!!! Very funny poem about a very "real" condition.
I think once you have it you never get cured! lol
Good rhyming and very nice flow!!
Favorite part:
"I really do have the procrastination
It's in my blood you see."
"My Mom had procrastination longer
She waited nine months to have me."
Brilliant!!

OHHHH! Nice ending there. I do love the whole poem though, because it's scary how accurate that is. In fact, I am doing right now. I should be studying. Good job. It said everything I believe. Come on! We desperately need a cure for this very widespread disease! Great poem!
