Tonight's thesis helpers
are oreos, m'n'ms and coke.
Trying to trick my brain into a hyperactive state
kick it into gear
to produce some work, any work
to bump my wordcount up.
The biscuit is stuck in my teeth
I have a sugar headache
and the coke is warm and flat.
It's still early, not midnight yet,
Tonight is not the night to succumb to sleep.
I already napped earlier, by accident
watching Doctor Who Proms and resting my head on a lion.
Woke up to dinner and drool on my bed.
Must. not. Procrastinate.
Yet I'll still write this poem,
and post it online,
probably the first of many tonight.
But I must go write this thesis
still four thousand words to go
and stop writing silly poems
that no one is going to read.
