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!
