Good boys

They say good boys finish last But eventually all do finish And then we begin to judge the past And it's only goodness we relish Finishing first should save you time What for, for in it you should have learnt patience Why seek only material in your prime And feign learning stewardship and prudence Go ahead and finish while we learn Painstakingly gaining wisdom and counsel More than money, life currencies we earn Soon your caucus will be ousted by our council Future events could be seen by seers But future security is in the wisdom of the years How soon I pray the mist clears You lessen your haste for wealth that appears and disappears.
