please wait...
what's queued up to be our fate?
it seems never ending, please wait...
the phone menu of very important calls
if paid attention to, says it all
the traffic light that only sees red
never flashing greenly to go ahead
the computing device that must attend
to things beyond people's comprehen...sion
the form filled out on the bottom says
six to eight weeks of non-refundable dread
Job's sitting around just reading his book
contemplating proceeding by hook or by crook
patience wearing, on thin ice to skate
oh god, the lordly retort - please wait...
