Urgent Care Blues

Sitting in a waiting room,

Waiting for my turn.

Stuffed up in my sinuses

Feeling like a turd.

Hoping I don’t have to take

Yucky cough medicine.

Maybe they’ll cut me a break,

Make the mucus thin.

Probably have to get

An antibiotic.

Boy, the time is ticking now.

Wish I had some music.

I wonder if all the people

In this room right here

Have a cold like mine

Or maybe worse, I fear.

Hopefully I won’t have to wait

Too much longer now.

My time is coming soon.

I don’t have to frown.
