Sitting at the doctor is never any fun
But when it takes the entire day, one can come undone
The appointment was at nine
We arrived at eight fifteen just fine
They called her back to run a test
We thought that they would do the rest
But, no ~ we sat in the waiting room
And soon we realized we were doomed
To be sitting there all day
We griped, complained, and had our say
Of course, there was no one that cared
In fact, they seemed surprised that we dared
It took forever to see the doc
In fact, until almost twelve o'clock
When he finally opened the door
His very short visit was a bore
He barely spoke to her or me
He didn't even take time to see
She told him that she would need new glasses
So he quickly to the nurse passes
Has her print out the same prescription
Now she has to make a decision
Should she go ahead and fill it
Or just give up and call it quits
I mentioned this problem to the nurse
As my mother grabbed her purse
The nurse quickly gave her the test
Said her vision was twenty / twenty, the best
So why then should she get a new pair
I don't think she needs to go there
What a completely wasted day
I couldn't wait to be on my way
When finally I was able to walk through my door
I couldn't rest, I had to do chores
If you go see docs you don't need
It will be a wasted day indeed

Author Notes
This happened today at my mother's eye doctor appointment. A true story. Sadly, this isn't the first time this has happened at this same doctor's office.
