Why Was I Late To School Today Poem by Nicole yacoubian

Why Was I Late To School Today

Rating: 5.0


On my way to school today,
I saw teary young cub.
It was playing with a floating dime
When it unfortunately drifted away.
~~~
I continued my journey to get to school
On this clear and sunny day,
And I'm sure you'll be pleased to find,
I found my completed science homework
In my own simple and scientific way.

~~~

While walking along,
I heard a cry,
So I took a step
Only to see a penguin fly.
~~~
I shook it off,
And looked again,
But then I saw
Instead a hen.

~~~

My mind, I lost.
I must be distraught.
To see such a sight
When nothing is lost.
~~~
I decided to walk on,
Otherwise I'd be late
But then I heard,
A sudden purr.
~~~
Nearby a tiger,
Hid from me.
But then it leaped,
So I ran to the city.
~~~
I took the city bus,
It took me here to stay,
But then I met you in the hall
And received detention right away.
~~~
I explained to you what I had to say,
But I guess you didn't hear,
Because I sit here now, writing an excuse,
For why I was late to school today.
