SOMETIMES

It seems I often have to go
to places I don't want to.
And sit up in
some straight-back chairs
And wait
just like grownups do.





Usually, they have magazines.
I like to look and see
if something in the stack there
just might interest me.








I'm really not allowed to fuss.
I must be very good.
So I will sit here quietly
and play just like I should.
