The extract from the poem conveys the typical scene one can see in the early morning before a teenager is ready to go to school.

The poetess has the reader hear all the recurring questions a teenager is addressed to by parents and asks the reader if he or she can recognise such phrases.

There follows a comment on parents' behaver: once mother reminding his or her children is late and they have to go to school and the teenager's reaction. He or she feels like remaining in bed because he or she considers there is still time and there is no need to hurry up. The extract ends with a later (further) consideration: teenagers do not seem to have any sense of time, they don't remember they have to get washed, cambed and ready to go out.

Last but not least, teenagers do not generally like their face, they generally can see only the worst part of them, just there you can find a zit.

The intelligent reader immediately realizes that the extract is arranged in to (organized in to) three parts, each having a precise function: the first five lines, rendered in an interrogative syntax, reproduce on the sound level the obsessive questions parents generally address their children; the second part of the poem that covers lines from six to fifteen provide a comment on parents boring and frequent phrases that hint a what teenagers should do and don't do because of their young age and lack of experience. The third part, signalled by an anaphoric syntax provides (gives) a final comment on teenagers most frequent preoccupations and behaver. They don't understand time passes quickly, thy don't remember thy have to go to the bathroom and ready to go to school and symbolically enough they don't like themselves: their face is never ok, they look fat and there is always a zit on their adolescent face.
