Waiting

Patiently I’m waiting, trying my hardest to keep still…
If I don’t move a muscle soon, I think I might turn ill.

My legs just started shaking and my fingers tapping too…
I’ve shaded all my doodles and picked at all the glue.

I’ve folded up my paper into origami art,
I’ve counted up those ceiling tiles and took all my pens apart.

I can’t sit still forever… I don’t know what I’ll do!

COME ON LET’S GET A MOVE ON…

WHEN WILL IT ALL BE THROUGH?
