Anxious Kate

Anxious Kate
  could never be late

Up at 3:30 
  she began to worry

Got to work two hours early
  sat around growing surly

Kate's morning dragged on
  with many a yawn

By lunch break
  her hands would shake

Her afternoon seemed long
  she'd do everything wrong

The last hour Kate skipped
  and she got pink-slipped

Plunged into depression deep
  Poor Kate couldn't sleep

She couldn't get up early
  which really had her worried

She became intent on taking her life
  but couldn't find a suitable knife

So, she wended her way to Canterbury, dressed as a pilgrim
  where she met a dashing Londoner by the name of William...

Here's hoping this tale has filled your void
  next installment you'll find in any tabloid

An unexpected but pleasant surprise "So, she wended her way to Canterbury, dressed as a pilgrim where she met a dashing Londoner by the name of William.."
