A Simple Pleasure
I’m in the doctor’s office – so boring
waiting as usual since rarely
do doctors meet with patients on time.
We patients can be treated so unfairly.
Our time is just as valuable as theirs is,
but do doctors take that into account?
However I am so pleased when I find
some magazines – a fairly large amount!
I’m thrilled to see the magazines for women
and not just ones on sports or politics.
I see magazines that most men hate.
There are some for kids too. A delicious mix!
I grab two up: one of them with health tips.
The other one about celebrities.
This simple pleasure I have little time for
at home, but now I’m reading here with ease.
I’m quite enjoying an article
on European diets – at my leisure.
My name is then called out. It figures!
NOW they want to interrupt my pleasure.
