When you take your leftover pizza out of the microwave,

It is a pizza that you want to crave.

The scorching cheese that is melting,

So tasty that your heart is pelting.

But you have to wait for it to cool down,

Unless your face will be as red as the nose of a clown.

Biting into the pizza right now will not have a good effect,

The special meal you had planned would be wrecked.

It's been 10 minutes and you think the pizza is cool,

Your mouth is so watery that it’s making some kind of whirlpool.

But you don’t know for sure if it's the temperature you like,

The possibility of a wave of heat in your mouth could be a huge spike.

Slowly testing the pizza with your mouth would be the best solution,

So your taste buds would agree with your execution.

You slowly taste the pizza and it’s just right,

Now eating the pizza doesn’t give you any fright.

The best outcome happened in just a short time,

Instead of making decisions with a flip of a dime.

Not everything you want is quick,

There is no shortcut that comes to you with a click.

Patience is key with long-term situations,

Just waiting can make you have good lifelong expectations.

Jumping the gun can make problems go long term,

But waiting for a pizza to cool down can make your mouth without a burn.
