The Deadline Is Approaching

My goodness the time's really flying by Nine o'clock and yet no new poems Get your bum into gear my dear friend Jack Morning will soon be broken Try not getting caught with your pants down Scouts say, “Always Be Prepared” It's very good strategy for many things in life Like toilet paper, always have a spare Maybe writing poetry is a little bit different It comes from deep down in our soul If the brain ain't clicking there's not much use Really difficult to really control Feeling some movement, hope it's not a doodoo Think it might be a few rhyming lines By jove, I do believe a poem is emerging So everything is gonna turn out fine Needn't have worried, it's happened before Last minute poems are the best Damn problem is they usually don't rhyme Means I really do fail the test
