As I stand in line, bored out of my skull A pack of cigarettes, is all I dwell Wondering if I would ever leave Purgatory seems like a much better place to be The sign say's no more than ten items please Basket loaded, I tend to freeze The cart is loaded, wait for me All I want is a receipt and peace be with me Poor cashier, she only tries Not lashing out, she needs this job Minium wage is what it's all about Give her a break, don’t freak out Candy and treats are set below our level Temptations for the young, seduce our patience Department of children and families will be notified If you want to raise them, mind your own dam business A sale on aisle three makes you run Blue dishes for twelve dollars, are our calling We can never have enough of those dam blue dishes, I wish upon that yellow smiley face to make my wishes The line is done now, so I should be grateful A swipe of my card should only relieve me Computer error still haunts me I long for this to be over, just shoot me The journey is done now, thank god for me The path to the parking lot can only be One more testament to my faith in man Cigarettes are my only fan God bless my only vice I wish I could go cold turkey Wellbutrin sounds great to me That dam parking lot is not me |

Impatience so well described indeed. Those lines are a challenge, still I always tell myself that in the world there are so many who would love to be in my place, as they have nothing to stay in line for ... You see the good thing is to ponder while you wait and that is what you did. Good job. Love, Margherita |

Maree, my favorite part about waiting is to see if Dick cheney really was abducted by aliens, lol. Margherita, they say patience is a virtue, lol, thank you for reading, I just felt like writing something different today, renew the soul, sort of. |

Well, you did write something different and light...enjoyed, though the trip sure did seem agonizing...Been there and done that, so to speak.... Oh...I'll try hard not to refer to you as a "target".... |
