A Women's Center Waiting Room

The chairs have flowered backs And all the sofas’ seats have stripes. The carpet has a beige design To match all styles and types. The walls are painted in a shade That’s neutral, like a balm. The lighting’s soft and subtle To keep those who’re waiting calm. There is no music, no TV’s To fill the space with sound, Though cell phone reading’s in full swing, I note as I look ‘round. A women’s center waiting room, So beautifully designed, Was obviously chosen With a female’s taste in mind.

Such a sharp observation, as 'male-doctor-centered' waiting rooms often leave SO much to be desired... Ever read 'Main Street,' by Sinclair Lewis? Can you imagine what Dr. Will Kennicott's waiting room looked like before Carol got ahold of it? lol. ~ Gershon

What I dislike most about many waaiting rooms –at hospital, doctor's office, etc. – are the noise from inconsiderate people using their cellphones. It's really become intolerable so that I have to go outside until I'm called. I wish there was a law against using them in waiting rooms / Maurice

I suspect they provided Dennis Wheatley reading material?
