For erin!!!
Patience Song...
There was a snail called Herbert
Who was so very slow
He caused a lot of traffic jams
Wherever he would go
The ants were always getting mad
And the beetles, they would fume
But Herb would only poke along
And sing this little tune
Have patience, have patience
Don’t be in such a hurry
When you get impatient
You only start to worry
Remember, remember
That god is patient, too
And think of all the times
When others have to wait for you
When Herbert was much younger
He often got in trouble
Forgetting that he was a snail
He did things on the double
He crashed through every spider web
And with crickets he’d collide
‘Til one day Herbert’s father
Took his speeding son aside
Have patience, have patience
Don’t be in such a hurry
When you get impatient
You only start to worry
Remember, remember
That god is patient, too
And think of all the times
When others have to wait for you
As you can well imagine
There’s a moral to this tale
Some of you may find yourselves
Behind a creeping snail
So if you get impatient
And you’re easily disturbed
(cannot for the life of me remember this one line)
And take a tip from Herb
Have patience, have patience
Don’t be in such a hurry
When you get impatient
You only start to worry
Remember, remember
That god is patient, too
And think of all the times
When others have to wait for you....
And I'd like all of you wonderful people here to know that I'm engaged. Erin has agreed to marry me!!! (hope you don't mind my announcing it like this...)
