Dogs can do it :)

Few things are as annoying as standing in line Queues and waiting can be an ordeal for even the most patient Always choose "the wrong line" Some use courtesy that seems slick and superficial We see bad queue culture at the store every day It quickly becomes chaos during rush hour when we are going home from work Everybody going home Impatience gives tightening in the chest A wave of irritation and blood pressure rises A reminder, must do an errand at the pharmacy A queue number must be drawn Can you imagine the lack of harmony Be patient and let time take care So slow down and appreciate the little things 02.02.2016 A-L Andresen :)

your words soften my heart like a damsel in need of a companion..... Your lines are sweeteners to a curious mind which is absolutely satisfied. There's this eagerness I have running to your pages and your reputation of meeting that expectation is beyond any form of appreciation or grading. Beyond 7 my friend!!

I had to smile when reading your poem Anne Lise, because I always read while waiting in lines, usually my little poetry book of Pablo Neruda's. I enjoyed your poem, and certainly agree. Cheers, Connie

yes, yes, We have to learn to live with this kind of thing Those that get annoyed just make everyone uncomfortable. Good one, Anne Lise. Love the pic. I saw it a long time ago somewhere.

Something I learned to do well while in the UK. Now instead of getting road rage, I can reflect on how good it is to be alive. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Anne Lise: Waiting in line is Purgatory. As you get older it's a luxury for you have nothing but time to waste and it's one of many adages you use when you kindly asked to wait.

To queue or not to queue, that's the question! Whether it is preferable to stand, patiently, in a line or to be irritated by the waiting and raise hell till all be fine? Great writing my friend, we all are with you on this! Hugs!
