The little old lady

Lorenz

It was 9.p.m .

The little old lady went to the emergency department.

She wisely sat down in the waiting  room  .

Old ladies are always very  polite !

3 hours later ,the gentle old lady was still sitting down 

and starting  to get a bit hungry .

Old ladies don't eat so much  

and what I'm saying is right .

Then she dozes off ,which  is good .

At midnight the  old lady woke up 

and she was very thirsty 

Before her eyes passed  the shadows  

of happy people no longer waiting ,

and I'm  speaking honestly .

sometime even ,a few white  coats 

who closed the eyes of the elderly 

which is awesome to know  .

It's important to close old people's eyes ! 

 we sometime forget to do it ...

So they leave in the shades of a void rainbow .

And what I say is true ...

At 3.a.m the charming old little lady was still waiting.

All eyes were closed ,there were no more white coats

only at night where it wasn't even dark ,and this is a fact.

At 10.45 a.m  the little old lady  fell asleep .

Service girls were pushing cards loaded  with  breakfasts.

A smell of coffee caressed the old lady's face .

Old ladies prefer tea  which is cool ...

This is a little old lady's story  who went 

to the emergency department  in a french town,

France is the land of lights ,what is well known .

As the old lady was very well educated 

she sat down  waiting for her turn  to fly away .

 Oldies  always leave like  discreet sparrows ,

not waiting for busy  white coats ...

And that's all I have to tell .

    La vie montre que les gens décents ont une vie plus dure et partent plus vite.

    • Lorenz

      Chacun a sa destinée particulière et des personnes décentes peuvent vivre très longtemps .et finalement tout trouve son juste jugement .

    • Ellen Marsell

      Je suis d'accord avec vous.

      ‘ It's important to close old people's eyes !
      we sometime forget to do it ...’ very funny at the same time quite sad, like the whole poem. Nice job on pulling that out !!

        Unfortunately this poem is a real life and death story !

          Oh wow, so sorry… this makes rereading it differently sad

          • Lorenz

            Hôpital de Bourgoin-jallieu .ce n'est qu'au matin que l'on a daigné prêter attention à cette pauvre dame qui est décédé durant la nuit .
            macron fait cadeau de 4 milliards à la mafia ukrainienne tandis que les secteurs hospitaliers et agricole du pays des ''lumières '' s'effondrent ! finalement je ne suis pas mécontent d'être belge !

              C est très triste… le sens des priorités semble disparaître de plus en plus dans ce monde. Et parlant de priorités, dans un monde normal, la guerre n en serait pas une.
