Uncle Patience and His Wife

PATIENCE AND IMPATIENCE. Patience is morality they say, That: does not function with a noblewoman whose man is far away. Won't she alleviate her fever with another man? Perhaps the one who is not apt of being with her. Impatience they say wrecks commodity Not when they slap your father in your presence And you say, patience is life. You shall be tagged a bastard. This life has its own vices. Patience works when needed Yet, impatience complements your patience when you are off guard. For, the world is filled with evildoers. Patience cools things down While uncertainty makes things aggravate. Yet, Impatience solves a case in the court For when an attorney is too cool, he is tagged as a lout. ©Fawass Olalekan Adelabu
