I wrote this after sitting in the waiting room for about fifteen minutes. |
| I sit here on a blue love seat And look at the rug on the floor. I watch some kids look at the fish That sit on a large wooden table. There are people sitting listlessly Some old, some sick, some hurt. There is nothing to do in this boring room Except look out the window panes, So I try to think or something to write, But I cannot because I have the Waiting Room Blues. If you've ever had this ailment Then you know just what I mean. The symptoms are simple, And here they are: Number One: Your hands start twitching Number Two: You stare at the patterned rug That stretches across the floor Number Three: You can't think of a single Productive thing to do. Number Four: You just can't wait to get out Of that spacious yet confining room. Why, I'm even so bored that I actually read The brochures that scatter the room. All I want to do is get out of here, This terrible, boring waiting room. |
