Jan Allison Poet Abecedarian

And I'M Still Waiting

Ages and ages I’ve been sat in this chair
Bored out of my brain it’s really not fair
Can’t wait much longer until it’s my turn
Don’t keep me waiting I’m nervous and my tummy does churn
Everyone else has gone in before me
Feeling frustrated, fed up, so please hear my plea
Going to burst soon, this pressure needs to ease
Help me! Somebody help me please
I am going to burst my bladder if you don’t see me soon
Just 5 more minutes or I will wee in this room
Keep me waiting much longer and I will scream out loud
Look its no fun peeing in public and I am so very very proud
My nerves are shattered and I’m so so scared
Need to have this procedure and I thought you would have cared
Oh hurry up and call my name
Please please hurry or I will go insane
Queuing and waiting is really no fun
Right now I simply need this thing to be done
Success! My name has just been called 
Tugging my hair out I was rapidly going bald
Utter bliss when it’s over then I can go to the loo
Value your health its something we all must do
WHAT - THE MACHINE IS BROKEN AND WON’T BE MENDED TODAY
Xpletive -  I won’t shock you with the words I would say!
You cannot be serious …  I’ve got to wait 
Zombified until I get a new appointment date
