14. Procrastination. If you had more time, you’d be able to put it off longer. What do you put off to the last moment? Why? Tell a story about how you just barely got something done in time – or didn’t.
Alternate: Splat! Use that word in a story or a poem.

Global Warming

The worlds getting hot
Due to the things in the parking lot
We’re hurting the world in masses
Thanks to the green house gasses

The warmth is melting the ice caps
The world is doomed perhaps
We have to change our ways
If we wish for future days

Cars aren’t the only reason
Other man made products are committing treason
The smog is becoming so thick
But people don’t care as long as their days go quick

Humanity is destroying the earth
Is that really what its worth
No more good times
‘Cause we’re committing the biggest of crimes

We need to take better care
How could we even dare
Ruining our earth like this
It’s the only inhabitable planet that exists

The earth is still round
But soon to be a lifeless space mound
It’s the last of most peoples’ worries
Maybe they’ll wake up when there’s no more snow flurries
