My mind has been bubbling with thoughts of Disney World and all that time I spent in line last week. In fact, I was inspired to write this poem, my first of the new year:

A Day at Disney

There’s a line!
Another long wait.
One of those things,
That most people hate.

Instant gratification,
Is what I seek.
I need it now,
Not next week.

Impatience is,
My greatest foe.
The final score,
I long to know.

Quick rewards,
Are all I want.
I’m dying to,
Be up front.

I’m standing here,
Wasting the day.
All these people,
Are in my way.

Another hour of life,
Has idly passed.
When will I get,
On this ride, at last.

It’s not moving,
I’m going nowhere.
Could someone please,
Get me a chair.

Time is ticking,
I’m seeing Red!
There must be a way,
To get ahead.

My feet are sore
I‘m starting to tire.
Maybe I should,
Start screaming “fire!”
