My idea for this poem came from earlier this week when I had an assignment to due. This assignment was due at 11:59 pm that day and I started it at 10:00 pm. Then my laptop started to act up and not want me to get it done.
Time is ticking,
Crap,
Oh crap,
I have one hour,
Yet this stupid thing,
It will go no faster,
I have to get this done,
I can’t afford to fail!
Why didn’t I just do it earlier?
Why did I put it off?
Come on computer,
Load faster,
My heart is pounding in my chest,
No,
No,
Screen don’t go blank,
I didn’t turn it in,
I’m not done yet,
Come on you old thing,
Just a little longer,
A minute,
Maybe two,
Clock go slower,
11:46,
No,
Don’t freeze,
I just have to hit submit,
Come on,
Come on,
YES!
Done!
When will I learn,
To just do my homework,
When I’m given it?
