I'm Late For School
by Risha Ahmed
Oh, no. I'm late for school.
The alarm woke me up late in the morning.
Oh how could this happen?
I'm sure I had set the alarm right, I could have sworn(发誓).
I was supposed to wake up at seven.
But now it's nearly eight.
If I'm not on time my teacher will kill me.
Or else she will use me for fishing as bait.
In a total hustle bustle（忙碌）I tried to pack my bag.
Oh now where is my math book?
And then I also realized I had left my pencil box on the lawn.
Mom tried to stop me but I was too busy.
To hear what she had to say.
Without breakfast I ran to the bus stop .
Whilst the sun on me, cast its many a bright ray.
I stood there waiting for my bus.
Which always came at eight.
But it didn't arrive at all.
Up oh, was I too late?
At last I gave up hope.
And came home to rest for the day.
When my eyes fell on the calendar.
I realized today is Sunday.
