Lateness From Childhood

A lousy late-to-school child Big faults sees and makes mild: In future turns late worker, A scheduled-time rule breaker, Later late-to-act husband You stir with a struck band To secure quicker favor For his wife in hell labour... A late-to-pay fees father, As his child's fresh debts gather; Tomorrow's late unionist Since a meeting is no tryst... A late-to-alert-the-cops When a folk to doom hops, The guy's suicide neck in rope For having lost basic hope.
