I slacked. It seemed a decent plan,
A mystical, strategic purge
Of horrid beasts that threaten man.

The victor's hymn becomes a dirge,
The ceiling and the floor converge;
A gelid, pallid fear enthralls
Within Procrastination's walls.

My frantic labors I began.
When finished, my employer calls:
More obligations - and again
I slack. It seems a decent plan.

Very nicely done, as usual. I take it that the poem itself constitutes the fruits of your slacking?

I, too, am a huge slacker. I love this poem, and how it captures the essence of a procrastinator-- how each time you procrastinate, you wind up panicking and completely stressed at the last-minute before the proj/assignment is due. And you think to yourself, I will never put myself into this situation again. I will learn time management! And then the next assignment you get, bam, you do the exact same thing.

I agree. I figure I'm just sadistic and enjoy the pain
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Haha, guess I found the target audience.

I was teaching math part-time at a vocational school. Pulled a good 18 hours playing Dragon Age, checked my phone at 5am. Voicemail said I had to lecture in six hours (instead of in three days). I think I wrote the preliminary draft of this before getting started on the lesson plan :p
