Procrastination, ala Carly Simon

I'm not the song writer Carly Simon is.  If I were, I wouldn't be doing a Weird Al on her famous ketchup-selling song, Anticipation.   But I'm not, so I am.


It's late Friday night, after a brutal week.  I am pushing up against my post deadline, and this is what's in my head.  To the tune of Anticipation, I give you. . .


Procrastination

I can never get all the day’s tasks done

But I think about them anyway, yay

And I wonder if I’ll stop postponing stuff
Or keep chasin' after some finer day

Procrastination, procrastination

Is makin’ me late

Is keepin’ you waitin’

And I tell you how easy it is to put things off

And so I just keep missing deadlines

But I, I rehearsed those words just late last night

When I was thinkin' about how late it just might be

Procrastination, procrastination

Is makin’ me late

Is keepin’ you waitin’

And tomorrow's my favorite day to do things

I'm not focused and I don't know why I delay  
But I'll try and see a way to do things now

So stay right here ‘cause I’ll get it done someday

I’ll get it done someday

So stay right here ‘cause I’ll get it done someday

I’ll get it done someday

I’ll get it done someday

I’ll get it done someday

I’ll get it done someday

A theme song for my recovery. . .
