Mid Day Break

by Cas - Cancer

I only have 60 minutes of time.
60 minutes to do so many things.
This is your lunch hour -they say,
yet it takes approximately 16 minutes
to find a place to park at the closest restaurant.
Stand in line, they say. 
We'll be with you shortly, 
well, shortly isn't shortly enough.
The clock is continuing to go forward
and finally I get a place of my own.
Yes, I know what I want. .now I get to wait again.
I've only 60 minutes of time
my lunch hour nearly half gone
give me a doggie bag ma'am. .yes
thank you too, and have a wonderful day.
I've made it back with 7 minutes to spare,
lunch hour, 60 minutes, sigh.

Reason for writing:

    Lunch hours. .
