ME TODAY
Me Today just woke up, got out of bed. There’s a note waiting for Me Today from Me Yesterday. Me Yesterday says Me Today must finish the play. Me Yesterday knows that Me Today can't finish the play. What does Me Yesterday think he's doing, leaving notes like this for Me Today? Me Yesterday's been trying to write this play for years. How come Me Today has got to do it all today, in one day? Maybe Me Today should give it to Me Tomorrow. Me Tomorrow, he's got less things to do than Me Today. Me Tomorrow's free---he has nothing to do and is full of wild ambitions. Me Today looks again at the note. He hates Me Yesterday. Me Today is depressed. He's going write a long note to Me Tomorrow. Me Tomorrow can do anything. Me Tomorrow is a genius. Write the note for Me Tomorrow. Me Today is free again.
