we're watched by the deadline
deadlines of all kinds at all times
deadlines, we define and assign
to be in line
we live by the deadline
deadlines, we supply & comply
even when we unwind
it's deadlines that remind
we must arrive at the airport on time
we rewind on time
we must go to the concert on time
else entrance is denied
we must submit an applicatin on time
else application is denied
we must make payment on time
else we get left behind or fine
whatever we do
there's a cuttoff time
it's deadlines that chime
it's deadlines that charm
it's deadlines that alarm
it's deadlines that harm
in deadlines we bind
in deadlines we sign
deadlines we assign
in deadlines we resign!
