"Limbo's discontent"
now that says it wonderfully,
that miserable wait, almost
a sense of being trapped..for me,
the most dreaded words in any office
or govt establishment are 'take a seat'
i just know sentence has been passed
and i'm about to serve time.

Good one, Carolyn.

My doctors waiting room matches this. A lot of folks have the flu. A very fine write.
GOD BLESS YOU

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
