waiting room

sitting for a long wait
my mind drifts aimlessly
and wonder who picks the reading list
of the doctors surgery

there's Peoples Friend and Woman
Home Living and Ideal Home
one on camper vans and caravans
if you've a yearn to roam

if you like those low life celebrities
with the morals of a rat
there is always Hello OK
Look Heat and Chat

so it's best to bring a book
if the waiting will increase
when you eventually see the doctor
you've read War and Peace
.
