How Fast Are You?

Althought not first, I was not last

I consider myself half fast.

My love is true and meant to last

I consider myself steadfast.

I had not eaten since some days past

Until I ate my break fast.

If from your perch you don’t want to slip passed

Tie a knot in your rope to holdfast.

I was ill, no laziness cast

I found myself to be bedfast

Red, white and blue are meant to last

I consider them colorfast

If you have been married some time in the past

Then you have been handfast

If you don’t want your boat to slip right passed,

To the buoy you want to makefast.

If on this list you want to cast

What else includes the word fast?
