Analysis of Impatience Is A Glower
These things spawn impatience
They happen everyday
Yet impatiens "shout" hooray
Things that halt or hamper
Things that cause delay
Yet impatiens "shout" hooray
Things that spoil or tamper
Things that break away
Yet impatiens "shout" hooray
Things that fuss or pamper
Things that die halfway
Yet impatiens "shout" hooray

Things that put dismay
Yet impatiens "shout" hooray
Things that run or scamper
