It Won't Be Long Coming Poem by Dorsey Baker

You'd better get ready for
The time that's coming
You'd better get ready for
The time that's coming
Because the time that's coming
It won't be long coming!

Make sure you've got some food
On the table
Make sure you've got some coffee
In the pot
Because the winter that's coming
It's going to be real cold
And the summer that's coming
It's going to be real hot
Don't get caught buck naked
When your window
Is open wide
Learn to humble yourself
Don't be full of foolish pride
You'd better get ready
For the time that's coming
Because the time that's coming
It won't be very long coming!
