HURRY AND SPEED, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: While speed is filling the bottle, hurry is spilling the ink
Last Line: Hurry wins many a slave, but speed wins many a friend.
Subject(s): Haste


While Speed is filling the bottle, Hurry is spilling the ink;
While Speed is solving the problem, Hurry's beginning to think.
While Speed is hitting the bull's-eye, Hurry is stringing his bow;
While Hurry is marching his army, Speed is worsting his foe.
Hurry is quick at beginning, Speed is quick at the end.
Hurry wins many a slave, but Speed wins many a friend.
