Here is my entry:

LATE FOR SCHOOL (WC 50)

by Michelle S. Kennedy

My sleep is sweet

amongst some drool.

MISTAKE! I wake—

I’m LATE for I’m LATE for school!

Groan… Roll…

Stretch… Yawn…

(I’ve still got my

jammies on!)

No time to bathe

or brush my teeth.

I grab my clothes,

and brother— Keith.

Perplexed. Confused.

I hear him say,

“You brainless brat!

It’s SATURDAY!”
