“Fashionably Late”
I’m always fashionably late
Fifteen minutes or so
I don’t mean to make you wait
You’re busy yourself I know!
It takes me a while to get ready
Even then I’m unprepared
Lots of times I gotta psyche myself up
Darn truth is I’m usually scared
To make a grand entrance
Offsets my fear
You know the drill “hello world I’m here! ”
One steps off the catwalk
Unstressed in this state
Regally dressed & fashionably late
With stylish, well mannered
Half-hearted yet kind
Instant apology I have designed
My schedule to cater to my
Star struck passion…
…I come later, but lately
It seems out of fashion
