In Line

When you're waiting in line
Don't get out of line
Agitated and impatient
With murmurs and complaints
Or the one who was behind you
Will take your place in line
And be served ahead of you
When at the end of the line
You will have to move
When you decide
To get back in line
And in front of you
The last shall be first
And the first shall be last
With those already behind
So maintain your place
By containing yourself 
And patiently waiting in line
