Instant coffee
                                                 Microwave meals
                                                                              Quick-pick lotto
                          The faster the better! is society’s motto

                          Fast food
                                           Faster cars
                                                             and  Service
                          Waiting at all will might us too nervous!

                          ATM’s
                                       Drive-thru windows
                                                                         Internet hopping
                          Choose any sort of one-stop shopping

                          Test-tube babies
                                                       Mail-order brides
                                                                                       and Personal ads
                          Has living, itself, become a mere fad?

                          Same-day delivery
                                                          Photos
                                                                      and Surgery
                          Such claims often prove to be but a perjury!

                          Whatever happened to haste makes waste?
                          How can we enjoy without savoring the taste?

                          Instant gratification is truly ironic
                          Nothing good comes easy is a much better logic

                          God made it all,
                          in only one week
                          Through our feeble attempts
                          is it His power we seek?
