Bad Timing
How can anyone know the time when they don't have a watch?!
My watch is broken so I can’t tell the time. I don’t know if it’s midnight or quarter past nine.
I don’t know if I’m eating my dinner or lunch. I don’t know if I should be in bed or at brunch.
I’ve broken my watch and I haven’t a clue what in the world I’m supposed to do.
What time could it be? I hope that it’s three because that’s when my favorite cartoon’s on TV.
I think I hear school bells and if that’s the case, I’m in the right time but in I’m in the wrong place!
