I vow to start my homework

I'm gonna start my homework, I promise it is true.
No more fun distractions, no more TV shows and food.
I'm gonna start it – watch me. I testify today.
The homework will be finished, there's no more time for play.
The essays will get written. The math answers derived. 
The English chapter finished, this time I will not lie!
Right now. I vow I'll start it.
One minute ... passed but still
I pledge I'm not a quitter.
Five minutes later ... chill.
I said I'd get to homework and so that is what I'll do.
The research project, biology, vocab test that's due,
The summary of picture books, the sixth grade notes re-write,
The Spanish poem memorized with all the grammar right,
The painting that was due last week, a lab I need to test,
Something 'bout a Van De Graf and lightning ... what's the rest?
Class pet I must return from last year, I'm not sure where he went ...
The gym homework I didn't do because 'they never sent,'
The giant map of Africa, my five times tables learned,
My senior economics project, my first grade stickers earned.
So you see? I vow, I promise you,
All this homework will get done.
No more procrastination games (but if you're asking, I have won.)
Assigned from days to years ago – but no! I never quit.

... I didn't say they'd be on time... I just said I'd get to it.
