Extended Metaphor Poem

Homework Procrastination

Inspired by "A Road Not Taken"

I had two options:

Procrastinate or just do my homework

I was feeling really tired and uninterested

Actually doing my homework sounded like so much work

I’ll just not do it

However not doing it will make it look like I’m a slacker

If I don’t do it

I would have to rush and be pressured the next morning into doing it

Or I would get in trouble because I probably would not have finished it

What’s the big deal anyway if I don’t do it?

I’ll just not do it

It’s only one little assignment right?

However if I did do my homework

I would have to do all of this boring work

About stuff I don’t even care about

Then again, I wouldn’t get in trouble

I would have a better grade

And I would feel completely stress free

I finally decided to do my homework

I didn’t get in trouble

My grade was better

And it felt like the weight was lifted off my shoulders                         

Now I have to study

But maybe I’ll just watch TV instead
