One minute too late

8:50pm, I did all my work and tried to help out other department.
They were in a mess: returns, cash out from drawer, cleaning and calculating.
I put the returns back, running through the whole store.
Just like a bee, visiting everywhere to find what it need.

Finally I emptied the basket and peek my watch.
It was 10:08pm. I rushed to the clock,
slide my card but the clock refused.

I ran to my manager and told her what happened.
She had only one comment:
Momoko, it's one minute too late.

Comment:
It ended like a prose than a poem...I got yelled by my manager because I done my stuff but I still need a red card(a card in S&S that required if you're later (or earlier)than the time you're supposed to punch out). I finally left the store at 9:30 because my sis was a cashier.
