A is for AM I L8T

It is the first day of the AtoZ Challenge! Welcome. This year I am continuing to write a poem a day (except for Sundays - but I may have one non-A to Z poem) using the vanity plates I spied since last year. Today is the letter A, and here are the plates I found: AUTMJOY I chose AM I L8T... AM I L8T? How can it be? Really, AGAIN? I set my clock For half past ten. So much time before my date But suddenly I'm running late. The cat needs food, the dog does, too. Now where'd it go? I need my shoe Oh, real cute dog, thanks a bunch! You had to eat my shoe for lunch? Different shoes, Pick a dress. Comb my hair - I look a mess! Now I'm really in a rush Where's my toothpaste? Where's my brush? Coat and purse. Find the door. Pick my keys up Off the floor! Wait... I think there's one more thing - The alarm was set - it didn't ring! The sky is dark? Well this is great
