I'M Late

OH NO! I'm late this can't be true Where's my skirt and my other shoe! I heard the alarm just once or twice "WHERES THE KIDS??" Be patient, be nice! I hate to see my bosses frown Maybe I'll say the flu's going round NO, I can make it there's just enough time! Mommy my homework and the PTA sign! Hurry now off to the bus we must go Wait mommy! is there something we don't know? It's Saturday, there's no school today and your not late, we just want to play! I stopped and sat, could this be a dream? Or one of my husbands TERRIBLE schemes..... I turned and there with a smirk on his face He stood & watched as the clock I did race.. See you can make it if you only try then he realized I was giving him the EVIL eye! You don't tease a mom and tell her she's late OR soon for sure she'll be judging YOUR fate!
