A LINE WHICH NEVER GETS SHORTER

Waiting for the phone to ring, waiting for a friend to ping,

Waiting to hear a knock, waiting for an e-mail to pop.

Waiting for the hair to grow, waiting for the wind to blow,

Waiting to hit the gate, for a time to contemplate.

Waiting to pay the bills, waiting to hear the cuckoo sing,

Waiting for the traffic to clear, waiting to hear from someone Dear.

Waiting for Sun to rise, waiting to reach for the skies,

Waiting to place your order, waiting to cross the border,

Waiting to grow wise, waiting to get a rise,

Waiting for a shade to fade, waiting for the monsoons to behave,

A whole life time spent just on waiting...
