WAIT A MINUTE

WAIT A MINUTE

Wait a minute
He said
I waited

The minute elongated
Became an hour

Still waited
Became two hours

Never gave up hope
Now waited not for him
But for his calls

His calls never came
I still waited
The minute
Elongated became
Noon then afternoon

My patience was tested
Began to be frustrated

Little did I know
He had an accident
Never attempted to call

And didn't tell a soul
That he told me to wait
A minute

The minute which
Elongated

A miss-call could
Have done the trick

Now I know, I‘ll ask
For a number to contact
Then the minute
I had to wait would
Not be elongated.
