Tell me why your late today,
And please don't tell me it's okay,
And if you tell me you went to play,
I won't believe a word you say,

Because you're tardy again this week,
I'll have to assume your not a geek.
I really like you, yes I do,
But i will have to punish you.

So please to tell me why you late today,
And please don't say that it's okay.

hmm. "So please to tell me why you late today", that line is awkward.(: Also, I didn't get that it was from a teacher before I read the description. In some parts it kind of sounds to me like it could be from a girlfriend to a boyfriend. But you have a good idea going here! Keep writing!(:
