Here comes the annual Christmas party I think I'll show up late -- three hours tardy The punch will be gone, how sad I'll miss all the fun, too bad Some think I'm Scrooge, others call me Marley...

Tardy Day
overslept playing on the way to school Class started after a while Opened the door to the back classroom little by little Opening little by little while pushing in my head trying to enter without anyone noticing I just come face to face I met the teacher eyes whole body froze even the heart My head jumbled with "It's too late.
