Early
I’d rather be two hours early
Than a minute late.
If there’s some waiting to be done,
Then I’m the one who’ll wait.
I never mind the down time –
I can read or browse or write.
At least I am relaxed and thus,
Anxiety can’t bite.
I never asked my mother,
So I don’t have a clue,
If I arrived into the world
The date that I was due.
But I suspect, and there’s no way
To really know for sure,
No matter what my due date was,
I must have come before!
