Waiting

In waiting rooms you sit and wait
And all the while anticipate
The calling of your name to learn
That finally, you’ll have your turn.

The TV drones, you try your best
To tune it out; it’s like a test
Which I am always sure to fail.
It’s tempting just to up and bail.

But I do not. I sit and sit
And lose my patience, bit by bit.
I guess in life it’s just our fate
To wait and wait and wait and wait…
