Silly Proverb

Whoever said a watched pot never boils
went to a lot of trouble to explain a lie.
If you heat a liquid to the right degree it
bubbles every time, so standing there
impatiently and fretting that it's taking
far too long will never change the law.
Some things just are and always will be,
whether you agree with them or not,
or like them, or find fault at how things
move along, and or wish for quicker speed.
