There will be another cultural presentation at the Woodstock Visitor's Center (historic Dean's Store) in Woodstock, Ga. this Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012 at 1 p.m. This is part of their Main Street Sessions where monthly they invite one artist to present to the public. So I have been invited for the month of Fe. Please come by and see me. Also enjoy Dean's Store with an original Coca-Cola fountain and other Coca-Cola memorabilia.
I wrote the following poem about our frequent and prolonged wait in the doctors' offices:
The Wait
"Just a minute," she says
"I won't be long"
"I'll be right back"
It's the same ol' song.
They were trained , you know
While in medical school
To say all the right things
Designed to placate and fool.
You're ushered in
To this frigid room,
Where you sit and wait
Like an anxious groom.
Your seat grows numb,
Your limbs become stiff,
And still no sign,
Not even a whiff
Of that medical staff
Who are - oh so sweet,
And professional, too.
They just can't be beat.
But, where , oh where
Have they all gone today -
Out to lunch, on vacation,
Or to the chapel to pray?
I think I've aged,
It's been so long, I fear
That I can't remember,
Just why am I here?
"Just a minute," she says
"I won't be long"
"I'll be right back"
It's the same ol' song.
They were trained , you know
While in medical school
To say all the right things
Designed to placate and fool.
You're ushered in
To this frigid room,
Where you sit and wait
Like an anxious groom.
Your seat grows numb,
Your limbs become stiff,
And still no sign,
Not even a whiff
Of that medical staff
Who are - oh so sweet,
And professional, too.
They just can't be beat.
But, where , oh where
Have they all gone today -
Out to lunch, on vacation,
Or to the chapel to pray?
I think I've aged,
It's been so long, I fear
That I can't remember,
Just why am I here?
A NOD TO GOD
My book, A Nod to God, was published in 2010. Many of you have the book already. If not, here's an opportunity to order it for yourself or for a Christmas gift.
A Nod to God is a collection of poems, mostly humorous, about selected Biblical characters.. Each one
is accompanied by a short profile of that character, and either an illustration by artist, Jim Bennett, or one of my own photos. It was written mainly for adults but can be equally enjoyed by children as young as third grade.
