Life gets in the way sometimes even if you book "time-out" with the best of intentions to update your inquiry
...and then work gets in the way, and then life and the teenager collide because "You just don't understand", and then work, and then rugby practice three time a week and a game EVERY Saturday, and then there's just not enough hours in the day but just as a teacher I need to remember that the parents of my children vary in their circumstances and their homes...COL teachers vary in their temperaments, and their skills, and they don’t all leave school to go home to identical homes with balanced work-loads and referrals that write themselves.
I started on my inquiry
but my font was small and pink.
My cats ate my research.
My PC’s on the blink.
I accidentally dropped it
in the soup that I was cooking.
My Monster flushed it down the toilet
when I wasn’t looking.
My Teenager ran my homework
through the washer and the dryer.
An airplane crashed into our house.
My inquiry caught on fire.
Tornadoes blew my notes away.
Volcanoes struck our town.
My notes were taken hostage
by an MOE clown.
Some B.T's abducted me.
I had a registration attack.
An R.T.L.B swiped my inquiry
and refused to give it back.
You've worked on these excuses
so darned long Jono said,
“I think you’ll find it’s easier
to do the work instead.”
