An Ode to Procrastination
That’s right buddy. Keep up the good work./ Haley Klassen
This student habit deserves its own song!
Author: Taras Matkovsky – Duke of Delay
Sung to the tune of Don’t Stop Believing by Journey
Just three hundred more words
To get done on time
He played some more Civ’ 5
Till tomorrow dawn
One more equation
To get done tonight
She binged-watched Twin Peaks
Till the early morn’
A break from the college season
The slow lazy passage of time
Thinking ‘Why should we do work now?’
It goes on and on and on and on.
Students resting
All around Regina town
Young minds, searching
How to work
Teenage learners
Livin’ before the back-to-school
Hidin’ their work till the night (before)
Workin’ hard to not get failed
Everyone wants a not-zero
Doin’ anything to get
Done on time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some already made an excuse
Oh, the pattern never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Students resting
All around Regina town
Young minds, searching
How to work
Teenage learners
Livin’ before the back-to-school
Hidin’ their work till the night (before)
Pro-cra-sti-na-ting
Keep on doing nothing
Time’s up a wastin’
Keep on vanishin’
Go on
Time a wastin’
Pro-cra-sti-na-ting
Keep on vanishin’
Time a wastin
