Any ABBA fans in the house?

Normally, I wouldn’t write one of these out two days in a row, because that implies I have more free time than I actually do. But I had a wee hiccup in my day that caused me to need to self-soothe a little bit. Since my stand on day drinking remains the same (hard no), I turned to my favorite soothing exercise. Writing. If you have the time to read this, first of all, I congratulate you on your organizational skills. That’s incredible. The song will make more sense if you refresh your memory on the tune. Here is a link to the original lyrics and song:  Lay All Your Love On Me

Now….

Turn In Your Work On TimeI wasn’t tired before we met.

Now every night is sleep I didn’t get

I grade the work that you turned in late

My love of grammar has turned to hate

(okay)

We know that isn’t true

We’ve just got too much to do

Just do your tasks, on time I ask

I BEG of you!

Don’t go wasting my whole weekend.

Turn in your woooorrrrk ooooon tiiiiiime.

Here’s the reason that you’re falling,

Three weeks late should be a crime!

Sometimes it’s just like pulling teeth

I don’t know why this gives me grief

I still don’t know how you got this way

Even your parents don’t have much sway.

I feel a kind of fear

When IPRs are near

I’ve tried and tried, until I cried

What do you need to hear?!

Don’t go wasting my whole weekend.

Turn in your woooorrrrk ooooon tiiiiiime.

Here’s the reason that you’re falling,

Three weeks late should be a crime!

P.S. I am, in fact, caught up on grading this week.
