Appointment Lady

Had to get some blood work As my doctor did demand So I walked up to the lab With my appointment in my hand. A few were there before me As we checked in one by one. They would text when they were ready; I could wait out in the sun. My cell phone beeped; I went inside Where others sat in chairs. “Appointment lady!” I was called, Eliciting some stares. I guess most folks were walk-ins; My appointment really paid. With some clicks on the computer, They, too, might have made the grade.

It's always wise to make an appointment, Ilene, even if in the process we might get a few ugly looks :) Your poems are always enjoyable. Regards // paul

How nice that you were able to wait outside, Ilene. My doc has been hesitant to prescribe blood work during the pandemic. Now that I'm fully vaccinated, I won't mind going. Technology is wonderful, but I lag behind. Those cell phones with internet capability are too expensive. Enjoyed your poem! Hugs, Carolyn

"appointment lady!" Really? This is creepy! I would have never answered.

They actually called you "appointment lady"? How unprofessional. As usual, Ilene, you take the everyday routine and turn it into poetry! You're good! Blessings, Kim M
