Late!

I could have been there but I'm not

I would have been there but forgot

Let's rearrange the date

...I'm late!

So call me tardy, call me slow

It seems I 'stop' instead of 'go'

I can't accelerate

...I'm late!

My life is littered with delays

I get held up, caught in a daze

I simply stagnate

...I'm late!

I'm sorry to do this to you

The bus and train were overdue

What phrase makes you irate?

...I'm late!

I didn't check my diary

'On time' fails to inspire me

Again you'll have to wait

...and wait..

...and wait..

..and wait..

..and wait..

...I'm late!
