ROBERT LEE BREWER'S WEDNESDAY POETRY PROMPT~ 24th September ~ Next in Line poem

http://www.writersdigest.com/whats-new/wednesday-poetry-prompts-281

For this week’s prompt, write a “next in line” poem. This could be a poem about somebody waiting in a line at the DMV or the grocery store obviously. But it could also be about a line of lovers, a line of errors, or a line of poetry. What is coming up? What is around the corner? These could be topics for a “next in line” poem.

NEXT IN LINE

Next please! The White-coat called,
A man stood up to answer,
A lady left the surgery.
"I've had my jab! You are next in line.
A dizzy spell, I feel quite well.

The over-sixties and the vulnerable
Lining up in an orderly queue
For the annual Winter injection,
A jab in the arm, no pain, no gain.
A dizzy spell, I feel quite well.

Next please, came the call again,
I take my place in the queue.
It is soon done, you will feel no pain,
Take your time, you are next in line.
A dizzy spell, I feel quite well

I answer the call, my time has come,
I get the needle, the job is done.
I ask for a glass of water,
The nurse smiles, "Do you feel OK?"
A dizzy spell, I feel quite well.
