" Wait a minute!"
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute
Once held meaning in the past.
Most youngster of today however,
never would have last.
Wait a minute
meant be patient, for soon you’ll have your way.
Todays young seek gratification
with little or no delay.
Wait a minute
meant moms were buying a little time,
Trying to teach these youngsters patience.
But now that’s just a crime.
Wait a minute,
meant you’d have to wait for your food to cook through,
more than just a minute of course.
Yet today that’s no longer true,
dinner is served at the local drive-through.
Wait a minute,
meant waiting to check-out at the grocery store,
no, no, not anymore.
Just do it yourself, there is no wait,
That’s the quickest way out the door.
Wait a minute,
meant sometimes listening to a busy dial tone,
youngsters of today, this they have never known.
For all of them now have a flashy smart-phone!
Wait a minute,
is surely a thing of the past,
Sadly our lives already go by way too fast,
So take the time to teach your children
“ to take a minute and make it last!”
