Patience isn’t just a virtue
much more of a poison that can hurridly hurt you
the strain that is put on a waiting heart
worse than the broken wheel of a shopping cart
curiousity is not the only thing
that killed the cat while the caged bird sang
its patience for a tasty meal
caused poor kitties fate to seal
and as the book of death is closed
a life is plucked just like a rose
but fear not fellow man, for I can tell
the only thing that awaits is hell
patience is a sneaky *****
that steals away food from your fridge
you wait and wait and hope and pray
for the food to last one more day
it has already spoiled and sits there so sad
because the children starve with nothing to be had
sitting pretty asking “have you waited long?”
there is one last chance for one last song
but courage never comes for all
the pretty flowers stuck to the wall
so let us all throw patience around
plant it in an unforgiving ground
let it rot away and then
we can all be impatient again
