I MISSED IT!

I missed my deadline, high and wide,
and now, I'm gonna have to hide!

I had to be on time for sch'ool,
but then I ran late--that's not cool!

So, I was late to my first class
and had to wait out on the grass

where snow was coming down in drifts;
the coming snow days would be gifts

for students eager to miss days
of school. We have well-known ways ways

of enjoying our extra luck
by catching rides on the snow truck!

But tardy students miss that fun
while being late when day's begun!
