Hubby’s appointment

Waiting in an Outpatients
Everyone’s been there
Shuffling thru the queue of people
Sitting fidgeting on a chair

You arrive at your destination
Ten minutes before your appointment
But you realise their running late
That’s the disappointment

Hospitals, A & E, everybody’s busy
Frittering about their daily business
Lost in corridoors in a tizzy

Single strangers, courting couples
Unaware of anybody’s presence
Theres a silence just 
a-whispering
The waiting room is quiescence

Sat for over three hours 
Why do they bother giving you a time?
This running late is ridiculous
It’s a friggin’ crime

Poor management,
You’d think they’d know the score
‘Crikey Moses’ this system has been tried & tested
Thousands of times before

At last, a nurse in blue appears
She calls out a familiar name
Dam tho it’s not for you
That really is a shame

Your about to go into depression
This lapse of boredom is wrong
Then another worker
Tells you you won’t be long

Ah well I’m not the only person
Suffering this plight
Let’s hope they let you out
Coz your not staying here allnight!!
