I HAD A GREAT DAY
by Ruth Romer
I woke up too late,
So I bumped my head.
Caught in my covers, I had no lunch money.
I fell out of bed. My stomach felt bad.
No hot lunch for me.
I stepped on my dog, The lady looked mad.
And he bit my leg.
I hopped to the kitchen. I sat on the stairs,
Mom dropped my egg. My head on my knees.
The new kid sat down.
I missed the school bus “Let’s go climb some trees.”
And ran all the way.
My teacher called out, We walked to the park.
“No recess today!” We talked all the way.
I made a new friend.
I knew five questions. And I’d like to say,
The rest I just guessed. That after all that,
My spelling was wrong. I had a great day.
I sure failed that test.
