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.
