Distraction

I left this page about 24 times while writing this.

Damn it,

I missed another Vocal challenge deadline!

Same thing happened last month,

Twice the month before.

Really, it's my own fault.

All I needed to do was set a reminder,

Check my to-do list and set time aside.

This poem is a distraction from another challenge,

Its deadline is in five hours!

Only six hours until I need to get up for work,

Never mind, let's write.
