Late Kate

Hello

My name is Kate

And sadly, I procrastinate

It\'s not a choice

It\'s just my fate

It is a most annoying trait

Whenever I have made a date

With anyone...perhaps a mate

Minutes will turn into hours

Seedlings will grow into flowers

Ever since I\'ve been alive

I\'ve been tardy to arrive

If I say, \"Please pass my plate.\"

They tell me they\'ve already ate

It is a state

I\'ve grown to hate

But I cannot increase my rate

If you are parcel post, I\'m freight

Forgive me if I hesitate

I wish I could participate

These circumstances mitigate

I\'m sorry to have made you wait

Time is hard to understand

It stretches like a rubber band

And though I try, it passes by

And leaves me here to wonder why

So when my weary life is done

And I have finished all my fun

St Pete will meet me at the gate

And he will ask, \"Why are you late?\"
