headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.

The Waiting Place....

...for people just waiting.

Waiting for a train to go

or a bus to come, or a plane to go

or the mail to come, or the rain to go

or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow

or waiting around for a Yes or No

or waiting for their hair to grow.

Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
(or their husband to wake)



or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
(or just in the car... waiting about
for The Brain to come out
'cause school's finally out)



Everyone is just waiting.
-Dr. Seuss
