I am never on time
My life missing rhyme
I can’t get it together
To be punctual never
I am not accountable
But I am fashionable
Fashionable to be late
While others must wait
To be the first to arrive

Oh what a stylish date
The minutes of the hour
Each a miraculous flower
Empty seconds matter not
In the scale of what I’ve got
When I do come to die
I cannot question why
I will surely be on time
The appointment mine
