NaPoWriMo 09 – day 20

NaPoWriMo 09 – day 15

The wonderful people at Read Write Poem have declared NaPoWriMo Wednesdays to be List Poem days, so I get a (comparative) let-off. And today's prompt was especially appropriate: Today’s list is about what you do instead of doing something else. ... Maybe this list poem will be about the ways you procrastinate.
