I Am Late

My oh my look at the time,
This isn’t great because I am late!
Jump in the car I start to speed,
Oh my gosh I ran over a weed!
I arrive there late,
I close the gate,
I’m 10 minutes late!
This isn’t fun, this isn’t fair,
I have bubble gum in my hair!
I go in the door but I don’t care,
If people see the gum in my hair!
I sit at my seat,
I stare at my feet,
I am in trouble, that burst my bubble!
