Keep It Brief

Late Lattes (80 Words)

Forsaken by my alarm clock,

I was late!

I showered in record time,

Opting not to shampoo.

Lotion slapped on,

Deodorant applied,

Teeth brushed,

Lips glossed,

Hair in a ponytail,

Sneakers and backpack grabbed,

I hurried toward the kitchen.

Soon, travel mug of latte,

Granola bar, keys and backpack in hand,

I slipped into my car.

Eleven minutes later,

I walked into class,

Drawing stares and gasps from classmates.

Looking down,

I too gasped.

I knew I had forgotten something!
