MY TROUBLE WITH MY CLOCK!


I am often not on time; I blame that on my clock!
It's not really its fault, and I know I have to stop.
My clock is always right; it's my habits I must change,
To make my life be scheduled can eas'ly be arranged!
I don't expect to run this late; it takes me by surprise--
I have a problem with my time, one I cannot disguise!!
My trouble with my clock is that it will not make me go
when I should, despite the fact I truly ought to know
that it's high time for me to leave, and still I choose to stay
behind, even though that decision always makes my day
hectic and stressful, since I've missed my destination.
My wish to be on time challenges my expectations--
to be on time for once will cause me a celebration!
