Re: SLAM Practice Round
Style: Italian Sonnet (rhyme scheme abbaabbacdecde with no rhyming couplet at the end, and 11 syllables in each line)

I'll Get to It

When I think of all the things to do today,
I’m saddened with how long the list has grown now;
There seems no end to bad acts that crease my brow.
I asterisk “don’t procrastinate” and pray
That at long, long last I may have found a way
To eat well, be smoke free, and renew my vow
To stop procrastination—and disallow
My penchant for easily going astray.
I will wash all the dishes, floors, even walls.
I will not stop for breaks to breathe nicotine,
Even if it causes me physical ache.
But without willpower the loser soon falls:
I only wash dishes and call the room clean.
I’ll get to the list after one more smoke break.
