Impatient

The daft old man

The mysterious blue box

They fell from the sky

And broke my red mailbox


The small little girl

With carrots for hair

All alone in her house

Her parents not there


The odd fellow, she fed him

"Oh, this just won't do!"

Said the strange man, said he

"I want custard, not stew!"


He looked under the girl's bed

And chased the monsters away

But just when he finished,

Something caused him to stay


The crack in her wall

The whispers in her dreams

Claiming that Prisoner Zero

Had escaped with a scheme


He said not to worry

That he'd but an errand to run

And after some time,

My doubts still consisted of none


Others told me to stop

He was an "imaginary friend"

But little did they know,

His story hadn't come to an end


Fourteen long years

And yet he still looked the same

My Raggedy Doctor

He finally came


He whisked me away,

Apologizing for the delay

But soon got caught in a quandary

And my hair turned to grey


My whole life I've been waiting

For a centurion or a knight

My dear Raggedy Man,

I've put up a long fight

With myself and the Universe

About finally giving up

And though you can't help it,

Sorry,

Time's up.


I'm tired of waiting

I don't care that you said

That "you'll always be here for me."

You're just a story in my head.
