The long sermon

Oh the faces of the bored

Frozen blankly sleep is fought

Staring vaguely at the front

But dreaming soporific thought

 

Twenty minutes 'til the coffee

A bourbon or a custard cream

That's if the kids don't grab them first

And so we all daydream

 

Mavis peers at her watch

She nudges Joan and glances

The twenty minutes now have past

And forty people sit in trances

 

But suddenly a head is raised

Is this the application?

That 30 second indicator

We all regain sensation.
