Tarry No Longer   If you enter reluctantly Have you really entered? If you leave without tasting Ask yourself now, "Why have I come to the banquet table?" If you haven't a clue Where the exit door is, Then you are in the right place And you belong here. So go grab a chair Then wait for your number to be called 'Cause this morning My dear sweet honey-suckle child Dey be handing out air.

Ama Maynu, 3rd Born
