I was awoken at 2 a.m. by my Dad,

“Come on!” he roared, “You have a bus to catch”,

Startled and confused, I rose out of bed,

“What bus? For what?”

He rolled his eyes, “School dummy!”

 

I stared at him in horror,

It was 2.am, for god’s sake!

I walked downstairs, to the kitchen,

and made myself a coffee,

But I didn’t drink it, instead I fell asleep standing up,

 

I awoke outside and in a daze,

To hear an engine call out my name?

Bewildered, I looked out my front gate,

And sure enough it was my bus driving away

I yelled and cried, “Wait for me!!”

 

But it drove away without me,

Until it was just a green dot on the road,

I heard a faint meowing from behind me,

I looked over my shoulder,

It was my cat!

 

But it’s eyes were huge,

And it was stuck in a slinky,

My eyes widened,

I had to get him out!

I rushed over to him,

But he shrieked and ran away,

 

He ran out onto the road,

And I chased after him,

Remembering that I was still in my PJ’s,

He stopped, and stared at me,

I picked him up and scolded him,

But the sound of a horn, caused me to almost drop him,

I saw the front of the bus just as everything went black
