Impatient Emily Morganstern 
                                              Never waited for her turn. 
                                              She pushed and shoved with a mad'ning whine 
                                              Till she was first in any line.  
                                              Tapping shoulders and stepping on toes,  
                                              And once she succeeded she'd hold her nose 
                                              High in the air in victory 
                                              Allowing everyone to see 
                                              That SHE was EMILY MORGANSTERN, 
                                              Who never waited for her turn. 
 
                                     Folks were disgruntled and not amused, 
                                              Such outrageous rudeness could not be excused. 
                                              Life demands that all of us  
                                              Should wait in line without a fuss; 
                                              Good natured patience is a lesson to learn 
                                              By simply waiting for our turn. 
                                              But good natured patience was something to spurn 
                                              By impatient Emily Morganstern. 

                                              In fact, when Emily spied a line 
                                              Her devilish eyes would start to shine. 
                                              Where the line went  -  didn't matter 
                                              As long as Emily had a chance to shatter 
                                              Any line that was orderly and straight  - 
                                              Comprised of people taught to wait, 
                                              Who knew that waiting could be a bore,  
                                              But soon they'd get what they were waiting for. 

                                              Emily didn't care where a line led. 
                                              She just nudged and bumped till she got ahead,   
                                              Enjoying the chaos that she created 
                                              Among the folks who politely waited.  

                                              Now you must realize this was not fair, 
                                              But who would complain  -  and who would dare 
                                              To chide and scold Emily Morganstern, 
                                              Who never waited for her turn.   

                                             They all agreed that something should be done, 
                                             But no none wanted to be the one 
                                             To shake Emily up and make her see 
                                             That patience was a necessity.    

                                             So it continued, this ill-mannered trait, 
                                             Never would Emily Morganstern wait. 
                                             In fact, my dears, it grew worse I'm afraid, 
                                             And oh, the enemies Emily made.   

                                             But the more she angered, the more she annoyed, 
                                             The more Emily Morganstern obviously enjoyed! 
                                             Checkout lines at the local store,     
                                             Lines for movies meant instant war! 
                                             What a knack Emily Morganstern had, 
                                             But now it's all over  -  because something bad 
                                             Happened to Emily Morganstern 
                                             Who never waited for her turn. 

                                             One fateful day she saw a long line, 
                                             And posted near by was a warning sign 
                                             Asking folks to PLEASE STAND BACK! 
                                             But to Emily this meant . . . Onward! . . . Attack!!!  
                                             She jumped into that line with vigor and vim, 
                                             She jiggled and jogged and didn't give in; 
                                             And as per usual, she got her way, 
                                             But Oh!  The price she had to pay! 

                                             For that line, my dears, let me tell you, 
                                             Was formed so people could have a view 
                                             Of a rocket about to blast . . . 
                                             What occurred next happened so fast 
                                             Everyone's talking about it yet, 
                                             A sight that no one will ever forget! 

                                             The countdown finished, the rocket roared . . . 
                                             With a hurricane wind  -  off it soared, 
                                             Emily standing so close was caught in a gale 
                                             And whisked along with the rocket's tail! 

                                             So somewhere in space  -  never to return, 
                                             Floats impatient Emily Morganstern!
