Waiting for Godot (apologies to Samuel Becket)
Waiting for Godot (apologies to Samuel Becket)
Good things come to those who wait
and patience is a virtue,
reward is not devalued late,
forbearance will not hurt you.
Our ancestors believed in these,
their outlook was not surly;
this day may be the one to seize,
the night before, too early.
Yet now desire is instant sated,
we fret and gripe when thwarted,
with fury greet whene’er belated,
and so our time’s distorted.
