  1. Being late is a terrible feeling,
    I'm going fast as well as my breathing.
    I become all jittery and nervous,
    Good thing I don't rely on the bus service.
    I try my best because this position I hate,
    But no matter the effort, overall, I'm late.

  2. Almost every day
    Too long in my bed I lay.
    I rush down the stairs
    Running through various prayers
    Hoping
    Fingers-crossed
    That I won't be late.

  3. I would rather be late then never,
    I still don't like being late, however.
    Being late makes me feel irresponsible
    and I like feeling responsible.
    I tend to run late very often
    and it's not like I'm late because I had some butter to soften!
    I usually like to lay in bed
    instead!
    Then it takes me awhile to get ready
    and now I'm late already!

  4. Run run run
    Rush rush rush
    My morning routine takes too long
    I grab my bags and out the door
    Driving to school is such a bore
    I stop to get a snack and coffee
    And walk through the school doors as the bells are ringing
    Late as usual
    I do not care
    Being late is bad but at least I showed up to class

  5. My day began in a hurry
    And I tried not to worry
    I woke up way too late
    And had trouble getting through the gate

    My alarm didn't sound
    So now I'm running around
    Just need to be there on time
    Let's get this on the dime

  6. I am late all the time.
    its really a terrible habit.
    Im always the last one to get places
    and running to school like a rabbit.

  7. Today I am lazy
    It drives other people crazy.
    I sometimes do not care
    I just want to sit in my comfy chair.
    When I am lazy I like to eat
    Especially meat.
    When you are sick it feels amazing
    and you do not feel like phrasing.
    This is my poem
    and nothing rhymes in poem.
    I am just going to stop
    while I am still on top!

  8. Being late is not my fave
    All the time I could save
    I wish I was not late all the time
    Being late should be considered a crime
    Being late
    Is not very great
    I hate it a lot
    I want to be one time, right on the dot.

  9. I am always busy
    Being late makes my mom in a tizzy
    I know it is disrespectful
    But sometimes by life is too full.
    I 'm not usually late
    Sometimes I just have to give my work to my first mate

  10. To be completely honest I was having some troubles writing about this subject ... Probably cuz I'm always early for everything.
    So I'm sorry if it doesn't really go along with this subject.

    Tossing and turning?
    Up til' 3 in the morning?
    Can't sleep?
    Tried counting sheep?
    For $19.95 I can give you something that doesn't work.
    Wait... There's more!
    Do you hit the snooze button with your arm?
    Or worse, throw your alarm?
    For $5 more we'll throw in what you think is a perk.
    But wait... Listen To this.
    Are you late for work?
    Is your boss a jerk?
    Can't stand your teachers tones?
    If you get the first two items we'll throw in a pair of invisible-sound proof headphones.
    ( just pay $6.95 shipping and handling.)

  11. I hit snooze one too many times.
    I roll over as the alarm chimes.
    The time is far past nine.
    I'm already late which makes me whine.
    Being late makes everything worse.
    The stress builds up, making me curse.
    The day drags on as things go wrong.
    I can't wait for it to be over because no one gets along.
    When I’m late it makes my day start bad.
    When it is the opposite, I am super glad.

  12. Today I am exceptionally late,
    In my class I'll say, Ich bin zu spät!
    Today I had mistaken the date
    How "wonderful" it is to be late!
    It most certainly isn't great to be late,
    When this date was a very important date.
    If there's a next time, perhaps I won't be late.

  13. In a rush today
    No time to play
    I wish I wasn't late
    I forget to let the chickens out of the gate

    I am always running late,
    Writing poems is something I hate.
