I’m Late For School!

by Livia MacVicar and Thalia O'Reilly aged 11

Mum I’m late for school, I’m gonna miss the bus!
It’s not a big deal, no time to discuss
I’ve got a test today, I don’t want to be late
And my school is half way across the state.

Don’t worry I’ll get you there
I forgot where your school is, can you tell me where?
It’s up the hill, to the left
we have to beat the bus, it’s a contest!

Don’t worry, we will get there on time
We are gonna go fast, it’s a crime
Mum, I think I have a headache
Wait mum, I forgot, It’s Christmas break!
