My Husband Is As Patient As I
My husband’s middle name is impatient.
We had the second vaccine
And were asked to wait fifteen minutes
Two minutes later he said “let’s go.”
I shook my head “no.”
He said “we did not wait last time.”
I said “I did.”
Glad now we had not come together last time.
He just left.
Said “I will be waiting in the car.”
Fine by me.
I know it is because there are people in here.
He is as terrified of them I am as likely to
Take them home, get their email addresses
And start a little group sing.
The pharmacist is trying to shush us now.
