Surrounded by women
In sensible shoes
All over 40
And all looking blue
No eye contact made
We stare at the floor
Waiting times lengthen
Enhancing the bore
A name is called
They shuffle away
Grabbing their bags
With nothing to say
Fear in their hearts
Death on their minds
You don't know their story
So remember "Be Kind"
