Explore "Step Faster, Please" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Of all most aggravating things, / If you are hot in haste, / Is to have a man in front of you / With half a day to waste.
There is this one thing that justifies / The man in the foremost place: / The fact that he is the man in front, / The leader of the race.
But, for Heaven's sake, if you are ahead, / Don't dawdle at your ease! / You set the pace for the man behind; / Step faster, please!
