Shallow breath.
Newborn, near death.
Essential that I'm on this,
the neonatal incubation waiting list.
Fallow care,
pitiful pair.
Shouldn't be missing out on this,
placed on the parental-affection waiting list.
Lie low, lay
stressed every day.
Unsure of the cause for this,
joined the rid-me-of-anxiety waiting list.
Youthfulness
it's ludicrous,
give adolescence a miss.
Unnecessary teenager's-angst waiting list.
Hold closer
sex proposer,
I'm looking forward to this,
Left the losing-my-virginity waiting list.
Have a half?
Having a laugh.
Too young to be drinking this.
Transforming onto the be-a-man waiting list.
Settle down
life's wedded crown.
Looking out for my right Miss.
Now on the someone-out-there-to-love waiting list.
Forever?
Stormy weather,
we're just not enjoying this.
We've both joined the soon-to-be-divorced waiting list.
Life goes on
still further on,
None to share life's boredom with.
Enrolled on the need-for-excitement waiting list.
Opened eyes
I've realised.
Life's posted message I'd missed.
My happiness should not include a waiting list.
Shallow breath
old man near death.
Too late, I’ve expected this.
Near the top of the soon-to-be-dead waiting list.
