I'm Late

I'm running late
though it's not fate
it's just great
to sit and debate
on what to relate
on my blog slate
and then I see the rate
of time elapsed, and I hate
to think that I can't elaborate
because I'm in no state
to leave my pate
looking like this-at this rate
I'll never make a fashion plate
and yet I sit trying to restate
never mind it's almost eight
I've gotta restate
no need to translate
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late...
