Standing in Line

Standing In Line
By Larry Linville

Lines are everywhere.
Lines are here and lines are there.
The new iPhone draws a crowd
“I have to have one” they all vowed.
Stand here for the Harry Potter book.
And here to give a movie a good look.
At Walmart you have to choose
if the express lane you’ll abuse.
Or will you use self service,
which always makes me nervous.
At the restaurant there is no line,
but you have to sit until you dine.
Lines in the restroom are what is sad,
if you’re in a hurry it’s just too bad.
In concert lines you really choke
inhaling that funny smelling smoke.
At a baseball and football game
you stand in line, just the same.
There’s one place with no line to search
and that the entry to a church.
