Waiting room gossip

in the doctors waiting room
i overheard
an assortment of ailments
of a broken old bird
not meaning to listen 
to what's being said
but from what I could gather
she should be in bed
Old Bird had a migraine
and a pain in her chest,
a twisted up spine bone
they found in a test
I started to listen
as the voices went low
" they found a hole in my doo-dah
that needs to be sewn"
"tell me more"
said the listener 
who glanced at her wrist
"is that the time dear,
my appointment I've missed"
" oh well" says the listener
with a shrug and a sigh
The old bird just murmured
and rolled her left eye .
"Mrs. Smith- follow me please"
a young nurse called out
"over here, yes I'm coming,"
said old bird with a shout.
"I'm trying my best 
but will never be quick, oh lord
think I pulled something.
Did you hear that click?"
"I've been waiting for ages an hour or more
im all stiff and achy,
Is this the right door?"
Young nurse tries to help her,
to show her the way.
"Thankyou, so much dear"
I heard Old Bird say.
The listener moves closer
and sits next to me.
"She does well for her age,
she is 93.
"it's a miracle she's walking, 
the pain that she bears.
She can hardly stand up and will never
climb stairs.
She was a beauty
Gaw-jus in her time
Big blue eyes and full lips
Young men stood in line
She can tell a story
Her life is one tale
Of loves she won and lost
before health did fail 
I heard that she'd married
a few times or more
Once to a soldier lost in the World War
and one was a butcher
who apparently had money.
She met the next in butchers shop
"now isn't that funny.
Another was a fair lad
she met on a ride
She said " he weren't up to much 
and told many lies.
Then there was that sailor
who often went to sea
They say he was very nice
But died tragically
 
The surgery door, it opens
And Old Bird comes out
"See you same time next week doc, if I'm still about.
