To Wait

You’re given an appointment – You check the time and date; And then when you arrive, you find You always have to wait. But why? is what I wonder, For experience should teach Those who schedule appointments When they start to overreach. Excuses must abound, but hey – There’s traffic everywhere; And if there’s an emergency, That still just isn’t fair. I get to where I need to be Before I’m even due, For being late, to me, Is something utterly taboo. Yet all I get is extra time Which then I have to fill. I read or if I have the chance To write, I surely will. So it’s not really awful If I’m made to sit and wait, But why this always seems to be Is up for some debate.
