Make way for the herald
With something to say
He’s been waiting and waiting
The whole goddamn day
The moment arrives
It has finally come
But alas our man finds
That it won’t leave his tongue
To put it quite bluntly
It’s gone from his mind
Either that or it’s simply
Somewhere too hard to find
The moment has passed
When he finds it at last
The words go unsaid
With the herald aghast
