late for school
woke up this mornin,clock said
I was late for school,teacher told me 'thats not cool'gotta put my shirt and pants on,flew down the front stair,wet my fingers and slicked my hair,elbowed grandma passing by ,her face went into a pie.
If Im late theres misery,
I wont be up on history,
Ill be in the
English grammar slammer,and
I got a C.
Got a warning last semester,told my mom and that depressed her,promised dad
I wont be late, so gotta accelerate,lets go!
Ran out the front door,moving like a meteor,i sped across the front lawn quickly,missed the bus, my shoelace tripped me,rounded the corner,homework flying as
I go,neighbor shouted 'tally ho!'and gave a standing
O.Lept across three lawn flamingos, waved to
Sal, (hes Filipino)jumped the fence,and found that
I was headed toward a pool.in the air
I did look funny,on tv
Id make some money,waved my arms and legs like madto alter where
Id land,
WHOO!Aimed for the rubber boad,hit instead the kiddie float.
I began to lose control,
Im so glad
I learned to log roll.jumped onto the diving board,bounced off it then headed toward,a jungle gym,i bounced just right and caught onto a kite.
WHOA!up so high, i see the school,8
AM, thats the rule!flying slowly, time is marking,down below the dogs are barking,
I feel like
Im sailing,but uh-oh, the wind is failing,now
Im headed downward, groundward,clownward to the school.on the football field
I crashed,50-yard line, perfectsmash,grabbed my books and so beginsmy frantic final dash.down the hall i ricochet,trophy cases in the way,the other kids are all in class,
I wish that
I were they,
WHOA! ALMOS
T THERE!I see the clock ends with the light,8
AM exactly right!
I pull a handle with a fight,the door is locked and thats not righttheres not a person here today,is everybody out to play?now im thinking and its sinking in,its saturday!
OHH!! I could have stayed in bed!
Im out the school gatewish that
I could aviate,or possibly evaporate,
Ill be home and back in bed soon,my dad is waiting'what the heck were you up to,lets go fishing,my oh my, your grandmas face is in a pie'
This is really something,
Im with dad and fish are jumping,mom gave me a new alarmto set for monday morn.never wanna be late for schoolnever wanna be the classroom fool,
Id be in the
English grammar, slammer,and
I get a D!
Now my feet are doing dances,
HIP HOORAY for second chances!
