I have just spent a few hours sitting in a hospital outpatients waiting room, result,I am soooo grateful I only had to have my eye lasered.

I sat and watched the suffering
Of people passing by
A child bravely smiling
But only had one eye.

A woman with a headscarf
Worn turban style you see.
To hide the toll that Kemo took
From prying eyes like me.

A young man in a wheelchair
Handsome he was as well.
He hadn't any legs,
As far as I could tell.

A salutary lesson it was for me.
I learnt it well and good.
A much more humble person
Went home, and so she should.
