Thank you for smiling,

for breaking trend

with wait-a-whiling,

and causing misery to end.

Thank you, friend,

for doing what you must -

leave sadness, forsaken,

and loneliness, nonplussed.

I’ll see you soon,

by light of day,

by ray of moon,

I’ll come your way

and we’ll have words

to leave us smiling

and time to lend

to wait-a-whiling.

This was nice, until I imagined Adam from Idol reading/singing it. Sorry I just can’t get his “Ring of Fire” out of my head!

Not only do I like this poem, but I am impressed by the word/phrase “wait-a-whiling”. I will now try to insert it into my daily conversations.

Aaron, you’re like e.e. cummings, but with capitals.

Wait-a-whiling. Yes, Perfect. i’ve been wait-a-whiling for a long time. Aaron, you have moved from snark to hard hitter.
