Motivational Dysfunction

I got it bad

Motivational dysfunction

Is what I have today

Can’t get off my sorry ass

To keep the simplest task at bay

 

I am not feeling puny

Don’t think that I’m depressed

But unfortunately the grindstone

Is not particularly impressed

 

The drawings all run together

The paragraphs confused

And now the stupid printer

My instructions has refused

 

The paper jams keep coming

My coffee’s gotten cold

As the boss’s expectations

Very clearly now unfold

 

I should have seen this coming

As I drove myself to work

My motivational dysfunction

Was beyond a simple quirk

 

So the next time that this happens

I will simply stay in bed

To let the world pass right on by

A pillow covering up my head

Delightfully real and witty as well, Patrick. I truly hope things "worked out" for you. Love and peace,

I hate those technological problems,
especially when they become synaptic
misfirings tracing about the room like crazed lightening.
Look at this fine poem that came out of it though!

At least you are working
I am retired and still can't get out of my own way....
using the excuse that there's not have enough time
to do what needs doing......
Peace be with you

I know the feeling. Hard to know why these things happen. It usually signifies to me that I'm getting bored with my routine. Something new needs to come into play.
