PUNCTUALITY
Reading edition
Epitaph for Any New Yorker I, who all my life had hurried, Came to Peter's crowded gate; And, as usual, was worried, Fearing that I might be late So, when I began to jostle (I forgot that I was dead) Patient smiled the old Apostle: "Take your Eternity," he said. —Christopher Morley.
