HURRY UP AND WAIT

Hurry up and wait,

This pay check is late!

A week ago

You let them know,

Then how can we celebrate?

–

Many of us live check-to-check,

If it’s late we’re a wreck…

Gasoline tank

Nearly sank,

Getting to work, I suspect.

–

In limbo we are,

Just one round trip in the car…

Paymaster please

I’m on my knees,

We’re down to nothing but spark!

–J.E.C.

HURRY UP AND WAIT!

HURRY UP AND WAIT!

Those wheels grind slowly,

Not fast enough for me…

Spent a whole day

In a good way

Waiting a Nurse to see.

–

Awaiting an evaluation

Of my conditional situation…

For therapy and healing

Progress revealing,

As needed in my present location.

–

One wag said I’m back from the dead.

At least I don’t look it, I said…

The thing that was rotten

Pathology has gotten,

No jar to put by my bed!
