These are mostly old ones I've stuck in the retirement
home for the time being. I know most of them aren't done. But at a certain
point, a doctor must look a patient straight in the face and say "We're
doing the best that we can. You'll just have to wait."
These poems are in the waiting room. But it might help
if you came every once and a while for a visit. You know, talk to them
a little, even if you don't understand what they're saying (and doubt
very seriously if they're saying anything at all). They're old and
drooly. Just laugh quietly. They won't even know that you're laughing
at them.
