Patience

You have to be patient,
Or else it will make you somnifacient.
Everyone knows it’s good to wait,
Especially if you want to attract a mate.
Wait for your fellows to pass,
Always put yourself last.
When you need to go to the loo,
And there’s a long queue,
Then just stand still,
And shake out the chill.
If something’s slow,
Do not go.
Wait, wait, wait
It doesn’t really matter if you’re late.
