Procrastination

by Harshita Das aged 12

I just love to procrastinate
I call myself a master at it
I can hear the heartbeat of the clock
As time goes on, bit by bit

I love to delay the work
Minute by minute, as hours go by
Five minutes six times make half an hour
And detaining just makes the seconds die

I go slowly down the stairs
Step by step, for a snack
And as I nibble on it leisurely
I find that I need a drink from my backpack

After my throat is cooled down
And my unexpected hunger has died
I find that it is time to sleep
For it is really late
My homework lays forgotten on the desk
I just love to procrastinate!!
