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 ~8~16~14 Submitted to abecadarian contest Sponsored by Caren Krutsinger

Awescreamiume. Awesome and almost screamed which was almost me. I just invented a new name for poetry. If you get a chance go back and read my poem of the day for August 16 that I re-wrote. Would appreciate your comments and corrections. Jim Horn
