Humorous Poetry

I Am A Prolific Procrastinator

When it comes to writing my novel

Andrea Piacquadio

I have a novel in the works
It taunts me every day
I never seem to write much more
I feel like a cliché

But there are so many other things
that lead me far astray
Like games I must play on my phone
or walks on the greenway

Or catching up on my shows
streaming on Netflix
I think I’ll watch just one more
I’m only on episode six

Or catching up on the news
I need my daily dose of depression
And if it doesn’t make me sad
it usually brings out my aggression

Of course, there’s social media
to waste more of my hours
Endless opinions and rantings
makes everybody sour

But I need to tell those deluded fools
that their opinions are all wrong
I’ll write 500 words they’ll just scoff at
Let’s do this pointless ping-pong
