Waiting in Line for Writer's Cramp
"Waiting in Line"

There are some things
Worth waiting in line for:

Waiting to be discovered as a great talent.
Waiting to get on a plane.
Waiting to get through immigration.
Waiting to get a driver’s license.
Waiting to get a passport.
Waiting for a promotion.
Waiting to get a visa.
Waiting to pay respects to the Queen.
Waiting for your team to win the big game.

After death waiting in line to see
If you are going up or down.

But some things are not worth
Waiting in line for:

I give these things a big “meh”
Not worth waiting in line for at all.

Waiting to buy tickets to the latest hip show.
Waiting to get into the latest ”in spot”.
Waiting to buy tickets to the latest hip show.
Waiting to buy the latest in-gadgets.

And some things
are not worth waiting for,
because who knows when
and where these events will occur.

Waiting for aliens to arrive – who knows when that will be?
Waiting for the big one to happen -who knows when that will be?
Waiting for climate change deniers to do something about climate change.
Waiting for the end of the mega drought.
Waiting for the end of endless fire seasons.
Waiting for politicians to tell the truth
(because that will never happen),
Waiting for the end of war and suffering.

Prompt waiting in line

This can be about current events (honoring the late Queen Elizabeth II) or something completely different. The genre is up to you.

Things worth waiting for and things not worth waiting for
