Boredom Waiting In Doctor's Office

My husband gets very impatient waiting so I told him to write a poem:

On a farm there was a donkey
Who's feet had a scent that was funky
Because he had stepped in something chunky
                        By: The Reverend T.

This is my response:

Out of boredom he wrote a verse
In frustration it was very terse
Of course, he did not want to curse
So he used words that were worse

Now he's pacing the floor
Standing right in front of the door  (Not true, just needed to be busy)
Nurse tries to enter in a rush
Open door sets him on his tursh

... 'tis an invocation of my weaver's sadness upon the soft wings of agility; or as one could say, the bird of resignation putting on the wings of poesy ... all the same, Sara, you have redeemed your golden voice, not sacrificing those thrones of realism ... Cheers! Canny
