So....here we are!
Sat in a doctors waiting room.
All pretending not to be watching each other,
Guessing who goes next!
Trying not to notice the
Smelly nappy coming from the pram.
Little kids coughing or picking noses.
Elders with creaking joints totter their way to the room at the end of the corridor.
Another look at the clock,
Hands don't seem to have moved at all!
Expectant mothers looking like they're about to drop any minute.
And then my name is called.
Off I go following the doctor to find out my fate!
Will it be good or bad news?
Oh glory be!
