Edit Poem
Editing Instructions
Please note in the NOTES textbox below that this poem has been edited, do
not put your name, please put as the following:
<!--EDITED by moderators
on (Date) for (reasons).-->
DO NOT remove the line break (
<br /> ) html coding at the end of each line break, these are
needed to form the correct lines.
THE CHEATIf you do not wish to
delete a poem, or a certain part of a poem, and instead would like to send the
url to Mick via PM for confirmation, enclose the entire poem (or part/s thereof)
between <!-- and -->
(ie. <!-- POEM TEXT HERE
-->). This will still save the text, but will make it invisible from
viewing (other than page source view). You could also add before the
<!-- something to the effect of "This Poem under review".
Take a ticket
If you want it, stand in line;
We’re a nation wasting time:
For our paychecks; at our banks;
In the ER, no one ranks!
Wait for coffee, wait to dine;
Stand here in the stand-here line;
Take a ticket! Round the lot;
Circling for a parking spot.
Line forms here to pay for gas;
Convenience store - who calls its that?
Need some money? Count to ten;
Park it at the ATM!
“Waiting rooms” anticipate
We/'/ll wait because the doctor’s late.
And clerks have disappeared from stores
Unless, of course, you wait some more!
Corporate malls are wondering why,
Their business has begun to die;
They blame it on the internet!
That’s partly true I’m sure, and yet...
The CDC has set us straight;
They say we’re grossly over-wait!
Assured our brains have turned to brine;
From breathing fumes in drive thru lines.
Why drive and park and carry sacks;
With swollen feet and aching backs?
Then hunt for hours and to our shock;
Find they just ran out of stock!
So thank you but I’ll shop on line;
In my pajamas, while I dine;
On pizza brought without delay;
On dishes I can throw away.
