What is the summary of poem Punishment in Kindergarten?

The poem describes a young person's memories of having trouble with sharing in pre-k. Their teacher punishes them by sitting them away from everything fun. They realize, after growing up and working a regular job with regular frustrations, their punishment taught them a valuable lesson for later in life that they weren't prepared for: how to sit there, and wait, as time just slowly passes.
