First-Class Procrastinator

My laptops's fan is whirring away,
An unfinished essay on the screen.
Two thirds done, and I've ground to a halt,
I can't remember what I mean.

I'll just check my Facebook,
Just mess around on my phone,
I'm procrastinating now,
Ignoring the drone.

I'm just gonna go for a quick cigarette,
Just gonna go get something to eat,
Just gonna have a quick shower,
To cool down in the summer heat.

Ok, so I've smoked, showered and eaten,
Now back to the damn writing
Errm... Now I need a drink, so thirsty,
I... Er... Need to adjust the room lighting.

I need to clean the computer,
The thing needs to defragment.
Oh bugger, where did my paper go?
Now my mind's really stagnant.

2 hours and 22 words later,
I've done nothing of any use.
Except be a violent criminal: my crime?
Perpetual time abuse!
