Late for School

I’m late for school, oh what will I do?

My hair’s a mess. I can’t find one shoe!

My clothes don’t match but I must get dressed!

I can’t miss school, I’ve got a test!

I’m late for school because I have a knack

Of suddenly losing my school backpack

Just before it’s time to go

Where did I put it? I just don’t know.

I haven’t had my breakfast yet.

My cereal’s getting all soggy and wet.

I found my shoe but oh what bad luck!

The sole is covered in icky muck!

And now my mom shouts out a threat

And asks why I’m not ready yet

I say it’s ‘cause I’m tired and cranky

She asks me if I need a spanky.

I’m late for school, I’ve unbrushed teeth

Oh there’s my backpack! It’s underneath

My unmade bed, I should have known

That’s where all my lost things go.

I’m late for school, but it wasn’t me…

I’m pretty sure it’s mother’s fault.
