Poem

We are not back to school yet, but 
          I am ready.
               Summer vacation lasts about three weeks too long for me.

Yesterday I looked at my school mail.
            I do not normally look at it all summer.
                      I am ready to go back.
                                 One hundred per cent ready.

We have ten mandatory online refresher tests
                Which we have until October 31st to take.
                         One hundred and four days.

I was delighted to see the test-taking link in my mail.
	    If I take one a day, I reasoned, I could get all ten
                            Finished before we go back to school.

My really-knows-myself-well side began to laugh.
                 Tears ran down our face.
                        We both know if I start them, I will not finish
                                 Until all ten are complete.

That was six hours ago.  I am at 50% complete.
                  My playful side is arguing we can finish tomorrow.
                             But I am ready to go back to school.
                                         One hundred percent ready.

It is midnight now, and I have finished all ten of the tests.
                  Because my obsessive compulsive get-it-finished-now side
                  Has held me hostage all day,
                             Stiff neck and all.
                                     I am ready to return to school.
                                              These vacations are too long.
