5:00am reads the alarm clock

it sings one of my favorite songs
I get up to look into the closet
find an outfit and pull it on.

Mom drops us off for Maddie’s 1st day
off to middle school all the way!
I walk to the gym to get my schedule
and to find my locker, number 151. Oh.

It won’t open, It won’t budge,
even Mrs. Herzing tried it.
and then I put my stuff in the office
because my new locker was stupid.

I was late to 1st hour,
the teacher speaking,
no student looked happy,
this was the worst 1st day.

So… never be late to class
don’t be late!
