Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

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.

Gershon Wolf October 21, 2021 at 5:29 PM 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

Maurice Rigoler October 20, 2021 at 11:26 AM 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

Rico Leffanta October 19, 2021 at 10:22 AM I suspect they provided Dennis Wheatley reading material?

Jan Allison October 18, 2021 at 2:30 PM sounds like a great deal of thought has gone into creating this area, thanks for sharing Ilene:-) incidentally the chairs in our breast clinic are vivid lime green and purple!:-) hugs Jan xx
