I'm late for school

I got up late for school today,

& nearly missed the bus!

I hurried down the stairs,

Wolfed my toast & caused a fuss!

I quickly threw books in my bag,

My pens, my lunch, my shorts,

Grabbed my coat from out the cupboard

Took my bat & ball for sports

I slid across the kitchen floor,

And hopped around the cat!

Then expertly rolled over,

Jumped back up & grabbed my hat

I belted out of the front door,

Spun round & swung it shut.

Saw the bus waiting for me,

I felt i had time to strut,

I climbed aboard & then froze still,

& knew that things weren't right,

My friends fell down in fits of fun,

& pointed with delight!

My face went red, i couldn't breathe

For in my haste i knew!

i'd forgotten to wear my trousers

Jumper, shirt, my socks and shoes!
