3rd in the 'Calling All Poets for the Poetry Competition of 2002' competition

Its half past eight
And I am late
I turn on the shower
Its now past the hour
My T-shirt is inside out
With annoyance I shout
I run through the rain
I jump on the train
I rush to school in fear
But there’s no one here
I realise to my dismay
Its actually Saturday.
