Placing your fat bum in a metal chair
Which traps you with a big 'HaHa' snare,
As she jots down your name
Here starts your frightening game...
Here starts your frightening game...
Every time the door creaks
'Is it my turn?', your mind voice speaks
Like a vroom-ing
car chase
Or a whining rat
race -
Whenever she comes out and calls
'Not yet, my dear', laughs the dirty white walls
Ugly lizard stands above your head
Jumps down safely and runs away with a thud...
Mosquitoes buzzing around
You clap at their annoying sound
They shake their butt and fly away
To dance in their own way -
To dance in their own way -
Wonder if they know what's your problem?
As you
cough up sticky green phlegm
Like a red tomato, your face glow
'C'mon its obvious' scracccking the
fan above...
While the clock tick-tocks
'Still how long?' your body squawks
'More time to go in
You are the last in the line' -
Dusty floor screams, 'Boo..'
Until she calls for you,
Jumping out of the chair
With a screeching affair...
You mock as if you care
Leaving behind that scary nightmare,
'Hee Hee, see you
again', cackles the eerie
room
As you walk away from -
The doctor's waiting room...!
