Hurry Up and Wait
What a crazy life!
I sit in someones house
and ponder,
And wait, wait, wait.
That's really what it's all about.
Hurry up and wait.
No matter how fast you go, or
How much you buzz...
You never get to where you want to go!
You spend every day, every day
and every minute
Trying to get there!!!
Only to be told....Sorry, you'll have to wait!
