Off To School
Ring goes the alarm clock
Bump goes my head
Oh my I should have stayed in bed.
On with my T-shirt up with my jeans
Oh I hope they are clean.
Book bag in hand milk in my glass
Oh my I’m going to be late for my class.
Will the bus wait
Or will I be late?
No more chances the principal said.
As I climb upstairs to his office ahead.
I go to the desk and I say, “I am here.”
“Just wait he’ll be with you my dear.”
Everyone stares down at my feet
Oh my I have slippers as I look in defeat.
