Getting Dressed for School
by Kenn Nesbitt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I must have been too sleepy
getting dressed for school today.
I tried to tuck my shirt in,
but I couldn’t make it stay.
I also couldn’t tie my shoes.
I fumbled with the laces.
I snagged my scarf, and now some yarn
is dangling from my braces.
My socks are different colors,
and my pants are inside out.
My sweater from the hamper left me
smelling like a trout.
I thought I put a hat on
to control my crazy hair.
The hat turned out to be a pair
of purple underwear.
I spilled my breakfast on my clothes
and headed into school.
My friends, of course, were all impressed.
I’d never looked so cool.
Add another stanza before the last stanza, that would fit this poem.
I went into the closet looking for my shoes,
ReplyDeletebut only could find one.
My mother was not happy.
We found the laces with dog.
I went to eat breakfast,
ReplyDeletemy dad was half asleep.
He gave me some big pancakes with ketchup on the plate.
It tasted very nasty don't ask me to explain ...
I went upstairs to get my bag,
ReplyDeletewhich to my surprise was missing.
So I checked my hat and my cat,
and the cat started hissing.
I went to get my pants on,
ReplyDeleteand found them soaking wet.
Now swimming in the lake that day,
is something I regret.
When I put on my glasses,
ReplyDeleteIt seemed to be getting darker.
But, it was my little brother,
who had coloured them with a marker!
I went to brush my teeth,
ReplyDeletebut when I grab my tooth brush something is a mess, I go downstairs to see whats going on my pet dog has just took a bacon!
I tripped on Cuddles my cat,
ReplyDeletewhile coming down the stairs
Great, I am alreday late
and now covered in Cuddles hair.

My mom called me down for breakfast,
ReplyDeleteand with no delay.
I ran and triped down all the stairs,
and ripped my favourite underwear.
As I went down stairs,
ReplyDeleteMy cat was playing with my hat,
On the chair I would stair,
My no so fuzzy hat.
When I went to put my belt on
ReplyDeleteit was tangled in a knot
It felt really sticky
it was covered in my dog's snot
I go running stairs and
ReplyDeletetrip over my hat and
flipped over my cat the
cat got mad and bit my fat
I slipped on my clothes,
ReplyDeleteran down stairs.
With a suprising bear in my chair.
So now I am ready for school.
I triped over my dog and nearly started to cry because I had to chang my pants and fell in my mud pie
ReplyDeleteI triped on my soxs,
ReplyDeletefell down the stairs.
I ran ito the wall,
and fell out the door.
Then I headed down the stairs
ReplyDeleteand i tripped on a nut which flew in from outside which gave me a cut.
Then I triped over a nut
ReplyDeletesomewear in my room
and then i found on my hand a cut
I thout i was to my doom
I went to go downstairs,
ReplyDeletebut I triped over my cats
toy pears. I rolled down the
stairs tumbeling and fumbeling
I went down the staiars
ReplyDeleteand triped on my shoelace and smacked,
my head.I sat down with a thud,
and at the break I sat in the mud!
As I headed down the stairs
ReplyDeleteI missed a step and tripped
I hit my head on a post
Hurt my nose ear and lip
Laura Grade 5
I triped over my basketball and hit my head on the wall, I had to eat my breakfest my had mom had called.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the time I rushed out the door as I ran down the block and trip in a puddle and by the time I got to school I was soaked.
ReplyDeleteRan to school and he walk in to the classroom look in his bag and it was nothing there and look the window and all his thing were on the ground
