You have failed in your mission in a fairly critical way.
You’d like to apologize but you don’t know what to say.
Perhaps you can rectify the situation now
but you can’t complete the project – not in time, anyhow.

If you continue working, maybe you’ll plod through
but the deadline still has passed, no matter what you do.
Still, you might feel better, if you work all through the night.
Is it worth it for the value? You’re not positive. It might…

It is time now for decisions. Choose to give up or go on.
Will you sink into your shame or get off the pot here, Jon?
The answer’s now for making: no time to be a jerk.
If you start up now this minute you just might finish work.
