What do you think this poem is about?

Library Laze

Sure, I love a library
When I'm feeling green.
But when I'm orange
A library
Is not the place to be.

Why's the world so cold outside?
I really want to play.
But the wicked
Winter ate
My vibrant sunny days.

So I'm stuck in all these books
Who scream at me with glee:
'Get to work
You lazy thing
Your time does not come free! '

How fine it is, and fine indeed
That I'm so well rehearsed
In the art
Of Ignore
In procrastination aptly versed!
