[HENRIK]<br>

<br>

Later... <br>

When is later? <br>

All you ever hear is "Later, Henrik, Henrik, later." <br>

"Yes, we know, Henrik, <br>

Oh, Henrik, Everyone agrees, Henrik, Please, Henrik!" <br>

You have a thought you're fairly bursting with, <br>

A personal discovery or problem, and it's: <br>

"What's your rush, Henrik? <br>

Shush, Henrik! <br>

Goodness, how you gush, Henrik! <br>

Hush, Henrik!" <br>

You murmur: <br>

"I only-- It's just that--" <br>

"For God's sake, later, Henrik!" <br>

"Henrik... Who is Henrik? <br>

Oh, that lawyer's son, the one who mumbles. <br>

Short and boring, <br>

Yes, he's hardly worth ignoring, <br>

And who cares if he's all dammed--" <br>

I beg your pardon-- <br>

"Up inside?" <br>

As I've often stated, <br>

It's intolerable being tolerated. <br>

"Reassure Henrik, Poor Henrik. Henrik, you'll endure <br>

Being pure, Henrik." <br>

Though I've been born, I've never been! <br>

How can I wait around for later? <br>

I'll be ninety on my deathbead <br>

And the late, or, rather, later, Henrik Egerman. <br>

Doesn't anything begin? <br>

<br>
