Story #194 - Deadline



Tick tock,
you have a deadline,
click clock
you'd rather do
anything but.

Read a newspaper,
watch a movie,
go walking,
play a game.

Check random sites,
see a match,
start running,
jump rope.

Pretend babies
are cute.
Eat crisps,
Looking at
paint drying.

Then,
as you're in the last
possible safe limit,
you start crunching
and somehow,
always,
you manage to achieve
the task.

Deadline,
blessing in disguise
or devil in waiting?
