Don't Count To Ten Poem by Frederick Nellist

Don't Count To Ten



All does not come to he who waits
why is patience a virtue.
Beware of those who hesitate
Careful, patience can hurt you.

Man wasn't born with a patient soul
not enough time to play.
It matters not what time is stole
provided you get your way.

It will come to pass if so ordained
despite fury of patient men.
Waiting until your patience is drained
You don't have to count to ten.

Patience dilutes the passage of time
usually bitter not sweet.
Impetuosity is not a punishable crime
As long as you don't cheat.

Patience means you must stand and wait
usually in a long queue.
Don't twiddle your thumbs and anticipate
your life will bypass you.
