First In Line

Written by Liora Afilalo

I was first in line of course

Nobody was there

Not even a small horse

Not even the guy selling a pear

I waited and waited

Hated and hated

Even the butcher was gone

And even his friend Hone

Nobody came to me

Nobody wondered about me

I practiced my musical notes

Fe Fi Fo Fum He

Oh, I told you I am so bad

But this is what I had

Finally, I figured it out

What it was all about

The reason it took such a long time

Is because I was in the back of the line
