The receptionist
A familiar story10 total reviews
Comment from artisart4u
The picture reminds me of the woman who played in Drew Carey's
show "The Drew Show" and the words sound like her. She is so funny.
So, to me it sounds like a familiar story. Very well done. To me the familiarity is, the character of the receptionist.
Congratulations on you winning the contest and good luck with your
works.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written dialogue poem with rhyming it is annoying when we are really sick and we are told there is no opening for a week and we must take a few disprins until there is an opening and if we are better we must make sure to cancel the appointment again.

This is a delightful dialog entry that introduces us to a doctor's receptionist we hope we never meet. I like how your narrator's bias is made perfectly clear throughout.
Amusing until one thinks he could be the patient calling.

Oh, man, can I ever identify with this! In fact, I bet EVERYONE will be able to!! SOOO funny! I love the way the sick person's description of the receptionist becomes harsher with each exchange between them!! That's EXACTLY how it goes when this happens. So perfectly done!!
And that picture?! Priceless.

The job of receptionist is so realistically expressed; she goes busy and changes appointment and advice accordingly; well said, well done. Write to inspire, change -- DR ALCREATOR

Comment from Debbie Pope
Ain't it the truth. You appear to exaggerate the situation for the sake of humor, but actually your portrayal is spot on. That is often how I get treated when I try to make an appointment with the doctor. It's as though they are doing you a favor to see you. You start your poem very rationally, referring to the "receptionist." She then becomes an "old cow," and then the "horrid bitch from hell." That's funny. I hope you do well in the contest. You should.
Good job.

Comment from victor 66
What are those clinics they call now where you just walk in and hopefully are treated? Oh yes, urgent care. I'm curious, what's the difference between the emergency room and urgent care?. Concerning this harpy as a receptionist, I would definitely look for a new doctor. Or I talk to the doctor and tell him that you're going to discontinue his service because of the terrible lady. I hope this makes some sense. Best wishes.

Sorry, hit the wrong button, you are most welcome.
Comment from James W. Reynolds
This is a humorous poem though it probably hits a little too close to home regarding our modern health care system. The rhythm is solid and the rhymes are fun. Nice work.

Comment from rspoet
Ha, so true. An excellent poem in dialogue
that reads smoothly and accurately.
You're lucky it was only a week.
Sometimes it is a month around here.
Nicely rhymed in couplets (ab)
Well done
Good luck in the contest
