I Had a Great Day

3 4

I woke up too late,So I bumped my head.Caught in my covers, I fell out of bed.

I stepped on my dog,And he bit my leg.I hopped to the kitchen.Mom dropped my egg.

I missed the school busAnd ran all the way.My teacher called out,

“No recess today!”

I knew five questions.The rest I just guessed.My spelling was wrong.I sure failed that test.

I had no lunch money.My stomach felt bad.No hot lunch for me.The lady looked mad.

I sat on the stairs, My head on my knees.The new kid sat down.

“Let’s go climb some trees.”

We walked to the park.We talked all the way.I made a new friend.And I’d like to say,

That after all that, I had a great day.
