A Doctor’s Waiting Room (Fun Poem 40) Poem by David Harris
A Doctor’s Waiting Room (Fun Poem 40)
Sitting in a Doctor’s waiting room,
is enough to make you feel more ill than what you are.
As I sat patiently waiting for my number to be called,
when Mrs Johnson came in.
She went on to explain,
the threshold of her pain,
and all the times for this and that
she had been under the surgeon’s knife.
Mrs Peabody was the next to sit.
She told everyone she had a dose of chills,
and that she came by to see the Doctor
for a top up on the magic pills.
Next, to arrive was old Jimmy Farnham
with a sauce-bin stuck on his head.
He had been demonstrating to his grandchildren
how he fought off a brigade of Japanese soldiers single-handed.
However, the truth is he was only a cook in the Army catering corps.
Then in came Mrs Hallam a little slimmer than she was before.
She explained that she had had
a tummy tuck and liposuction to make her look thin.
She then proceeded to lift her top
so everyone could see the scar.
Just to make matters worse
Mrs Shrewsbury rushed in,
to declare to one and all
that her water had just broke.
With all the pandemonium going on,
I handed back my ticket
and went straight home.
I’d rather suffer in silence
that in the Doctor’s waiting room.
Very good write, observational gem. we've all been there! Really enjoyed it

David, what a morning it must have been - and true too, no doubt. How often truth is funnier than fiction, he? I particularly liked your Jimmy Farnham and his saucepan! What we oldies will do to amuse the kids, eh? Hilarious! A grand idea for a poem. Thanks for the giggle. love, Allie xxxx
Wow! David this is just what I needed to give me a kick start this morning. A lovely write indeed funny and I can certainly relate to the goings on in that waiting room. I've been in similar situations, fabulous David.--Melvina--
Well, it's better than when in breaks in bed and the husband is floating away saying, wake up, wake up, it's time! ! ! ! ! Ah yes, I remember that well...Neat poem David.....Still in Illinois since last Sunday.....not back until late next Tues. Haven't forgotten you...just ever so busy....have great new pix. Yesterday my inner child was swinging with the boys and on the jungle bars......Getting lots of hugs which will keep me out of the 'Dr's Office.' ~~~love, marci.xo
