Im Late for School

I got up for school today,
And nearly missed the bus!
I hurried down the stairs,
and quickly made breakfast

I quickly threw books in my bag,
My pens, books and shorts
Grabbed my coat from closet
Then took my stuff for sports

I slid across the kitchen floor,
And hopped over the cat!
Then expertly rolled over,
Then ran back to get my hat!

I ran out the front of our door,
Spun around and swung it shut
Saw the bus was waiting for me
I felt i had time to strut!

I climbed on and then froze still,
And knew things weren't right!
My friends fell down in fits of fun,
They pointed with delight

My face turned red, i couldnt breathe
For in my haste i knew!
I had forgotten to wear trousers
jumpers, shirts, socks and shoes!

What is a folklore?

Folklore culture, including stories, music, dance, legends, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs, customs, and so forth within a particular population comprising the traditions (including oral traditions) of that culture, subculture, or group. It is also the set of practices through which those expressive genres are shared. Many rituals can sometimes be considered folklore, whether formalized in a cultural or religious system (e.g. weddings, baptisms, harvest festivals) or practiced within a family or secular context. For example, in certain parts of the United States (as well as other countries) one places a knife, or a pair of scissors, under the mattress to "cut the birth pains" after giving birth. Folklore can contain religious or mythic elements, it equally concerns itself with the sometimes mundane traditions of everyday life. Folklore frequently ties the practical and the esoteric into one narrative package. It has often been conflated with mythology, and vice versa, because it has been assumed that any figurative story that does not pertain to the dominant beliefs of the time is not of the same status as those dominant beliefs.[citation needed] Thus, Roman religion is called "myth" by Christians. In that way, both "myth" and "folklore" have become catch-all terms for all figurative narratives which do not correspond with the dominant belief structure.
