Do you know who wrote this poem??

Please, help me get this poem out of my head by helping me find the rest of it. I am sure it was written by Shel Silverstein and I can only remember the beginning part:

Goodness gracious sakes alive.
Mother said come home at five,
And now the clock is striking six
And I am in a terrible fix!

Did I hallucinate this poem in my youth? I cannot find anything on the web. Yes, I have Googled the ba-jinkies out of it.

HELP!!

 

"Tardiness" from Goops and How to Be Them by Gelett Burgess.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!

 

De nada, mi amigo.

 

Why do things like that stick in our hard drives?

As soon as I got that little ditty out of my head, in popped another one. Thankfully, the internet was more forthcoming this time...

Oh, Senor Don Gato was a cat,
On a high red roof Don Gato sat,
he went there to read a letter
meow, meow, meow,
where the reading light was better
meow, meow, meow.
'Twas a love note for Don Gato!

 

Go to bed, you're becoming delirious! LOL

 

Now don't be catty!
