"Have you done your homework?"
"Have you tidied your room?"
"Turn your music down"
"Have you washed the pots?"
"You're grounded"
Recognise any of these phrases?
Nag, Nag, Nag That's all they seem to do,
Yeh you've guessed it that's parents for you,
Your alarm clock goes, you hear mum
Shout "Are you up yet?"
You bury your head under the pillow
And think to yourself God it's only 8.15
There's no need to fret,
So you're supposed to be in school for
twenty to nine,
You really do have no sense of time.
You finally get up and your hair ain't right
Your face looks as though you've been in a fight,
You look in the mirror and you've sprouted a big zit,
You're deffo late now coz you've just chucked a fit,
So your hair and face are a mess, you've sprouted a zit!
You're late for school oh! Lesson one PE
You've forgot your kit,
It's life and what can I say its part of growing up,
All you really need is lots of very good luck!!

Denotative Analysis
The poet underlines how parents insist the adolescent gets up quickly because he or she might be late for school but the young chap (giovanotto/giovanotta) believes there is so much time because he or she has to be at school for twenty to nine.
To tell the truth adolescents have no real sense of time when you are an adolescent you don't realty have a sense of time. You get up with terrible hair as if you had been in a fight. In addiction you always have zit and when you look at your face in the mirror you hate it and, of course, you are terrible late. You have no P.E. kit ready and nothings seems to work.
But that's life, part of growing up that's why you need a lot of luck.
