GODS WAITING ROOM

Mr Black, please get down from that chair,
You’ll break your legs,
Mr Black replied, it would be worthwhile love
Just to see your sexy pegs,
As you pass by my room and go up
The stairs,
We all gather to peep at your wares!
Matron Bee walked down the
Hall, to the next door,
Not knowing what was to be
In store!
Betty Brown and Charlie Fault did not
Hear Matron Bee coming,
Otherwise occupied, they did not
Hear her loud humming,
For they were wrapped up in a pink
Bright sheet,
They jumped up quite naked, forgetting
To be discreet.
Matron turned around to make a
Quick retreat,
And outside their door, let out a sound
Something between a squeak and a bleat!
The next room belonged to Daisy Green,
Two male residents could be seen,
Mrs. Green popped out her head and said
Next  please!
What is happening here, Mr. Chess, Matron said,
Go back to bed,
You have a bad wheeze!
Mrs. Green was tickled pink and thought it funny,
She was only trying to make some pocket money!
So on Matron Bee goes to room number four,
Where Mrs. Jones resides and knocks on her door,
Mrs. Jones was busy with a tea party, with
Two make believe friends, she was convinced
Her best friend was the Mad Hatter and 
The other one was Cleopatra!
Matron was hungry and went to the kitchen
For a quick bite,
And in plain sight,
Saw Mr. Brown filling his pockets with cookies,
He looked guilty, gave Matron a childlike pout,
And defiantly walked out!
Matron Bee was stunned,
Tomorrow she was going to resign,
And planned to go see the 
House Doctor at nine.
Just as matron was about to get into bed,
There was a knock on the door,
Come in Matron said,
A very distressed Mr, Hunter walked in
He had lost his dentures,
This day had been full of adventures,
But as they were talking, they heard
Mrs Green squeaking down the hall,
Mr Hunter, Francis my dear,
I have your dentures right here,
You left them under my pillow
Said the frisky widow!
Matron had a decision to make,
In fact she was going to stay,
They made her laugh most of the day
And during the night, she enjoyed seeing
Their childlike deeds 
And perhaps adult needs.
Where else would she find such
Beautiful friends who had bad hearts,
Sore backs and dickey spleens,
Who all thought they were in their teens!
But the most alarming news of all
Was that Doctor Bay,
Unknown to anyone else, was
Having a regular romp in the hay
With Mr Black, Matrons admirer.
Mr Black liked Matrons legs, which he 
Referred to as pegs!
But it seems, and if truth be told
We are all on the same page,
For we will all one day reach this stage,
When we are eighty or eighty five
And think we are thirteen,
And a naughty teen.

Hi Miss Jennifer. You are hilarious. I just came from the entry of your baby angel and saw your quiet emotional side and now in this entry I see your wit and flair. This is a feel good entry Jennifer. Thank you for sharing your skilled talent with us. May today be a good day. Have a great weekend. Peace and Blessings always. (smile)

Your vivid imagination was running rampant with this clever write, my friend. Also on display is your compassion for humanity in all its shapes and sizes and varieties. New year blessings and hugs to you, dear one ~ John

I wrote about Go's waiting room. but can you imagine not having even a very small bungalow just a room, and yet we will reach that stage one day, I tried to bring out that there is fun everywhere in life if we make it a home. I'm glad you enjoyed it, one of my fave poems. Thank-you for a lovely comment. God Bless you John, Hugs, Jennifer.

Ha, ha! Adorable, Jennifer. Thanks for pointing me toward this cute bawdy romp! … Reminds a bit of 'Dr. Heidegger's Experiment,' a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Cheers, Gershon

I have heard that Retirement homes are very promiscuous, So I thought go for it Jennifer. I turned out rather well. Thanks Gershon glad I gave you a laugh - if you want another one or two laughs go to A Doctors waiting room and Blonde, Absent Minded or fair. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

This is hilarious, Jenn, it makes a nursing home sound like a fun place to be, you get to act like a teenager and the matron Let’s you do whatever you want. Love your sense of humor. Hugs, John

They say that the child in you remains until you pass on - well born to be a child and destined to return to childhood before we die - but yes, I suppose some are not all dreary ad sad, so let us hope that one day we will be in a retirement home like this one - have you read my poem about a Doctors waiting room? Thanks for your great comments John, loved them all. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hi Darlene, Lots of adventurous people in Gods waiting room. The Matron had quite a job, but loved every moment of it. Thank you for your comment, so glad you enjoyed my poem. Kind regards, Jennifer

That was so well written, I really enjoyed that. My Mother has Alzheimer's and things go missing every day only to be found in the fridge or bathroom or some kitchen cupboard . You write with feeling !

Hi Jenny, I had a good laugh reading this and really enjoyed it. The elderly can be very naughty and funny, it's true what you say, they think they're young and a lot of them are full of life still. Hope I'll be like that when I'm old. Kim

So do I Kim . I think that the child in us is always there, just lingering, maybe it is a safety valve! xoxo

Hi Lindsay, Time creeps up like a thief in the night. My grandfather used to say that if he closed his eyes and thought about his life, it could flash through your mind in five minutes. Wise old man. xoxo

Hi Sylvia, I hope you are well, I am sorry that I took over a year to answer you but silly that I don't go into my inbox but only go to my latest poems. I have missed you and have tried to raise you several times. Love and hugs, Jennifer.

Thank-you Jan, We had both my mom and my father in law staying with us (at different stages of our lives) - our care-givers could write a book on their antics!
