0 Just Me, All Alone!

I showed up late to school today to find I am all alone.
I guess all of the children in my class decided to stay home!

Brenda got her braces on,
Claire had a cold,
Dane had a doctor's appointment,
and Owen just stayed home!

Charlie has the chicken pox,
Jacob fell and broke his arm,
and Sarah overslept because she forgot to set her alarm!

Susan, she has the stomach flu!
Now tell me what am I to do?

I am all alone at school today ... maybe I'll go outside and play!
