Oh no I’m late for school <br />The alarm woke me up late in the morn <br />Oh how could this happen? <br />I’m sure I had set the alarm right, I could have sworn <br />I was supposed to wake up at seven <br />But now its nearly eight <br />If I’m not on time my teacher will kill me <br />Or else she will use me for fishing as bait <br />In a total hustle bustle I tried to pack my bag <br />Oh now where is my math book gone? <br />And then I also realized I <br />Had left my pencil box in the lawn <br />Mom tried to stop me but I was too busy <br />To hear what she had to say <br />Without breakfast I ran to bus stop <br />Whilst the sun on me, cast its many a bright ray <br />I stood there waiting for my bus <br />Which always came at eight <br />But it didn’t arrive at all <br />Uh oh, was I too late? <br />At last I gave up hope <br />And came home to rest for the day <br />When my eyes fell on the calendar <br />And I realized today is a Sunday.<br /><br />Risha Ahmed (12 yrs)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/117-i-m-late-for-school/
