I’m still waiting!

I'm still waiting! OR I wish I could lose 'wait' OR If you want an answer, why wait? OR Not a ‘wait’ off my mind OR The NHS doesn’t help you lose ‘wait’

I’d never get through in the morning So I waited until afternoon But then found all appointments were gone I’d have to wait until the morning

In the morning I couldn’t get through I waited on the phone, kept re-trying I finally made 15 in the queue I waited, and waited, and waited

Again the appointments were all gone Maybe I should try online access Though they needed my ID for that Needed to wait ‘til I could do that

I logged on the website, with no wait But found there were no appointments there Apparently they’re added at random You have to wait and look, look and wait

Eventually one slot, I booked it Then had to wait a few days for it Obviously I arrived on time Sat and waited for my turn to come

I was told I needed a blood test Only a short wait for that, next day But how long until I get results? Maybe yet another week to wait!

I waited, and waited, and waited For a text, or an email, to call But it seems that the letter that came Had had to wait for the postal strikes

Yet the letter didn’t give results I need to wait to talk to the doc I called and waited in a new queue To be told there’s a wait for doc calls

So now I am waiting yet again Waiting for that call in the future On a working day when I’ve no time To drop everything to take that call

And by the time that call fin’lly comes Will it take the ‘wait’ off my mind? Will I finally know what is wrong Or have I forgot for what I wait?!
