Contester’s Poem

Sitting on my bum
Until it’s numb
Waiting for the cue
It’s late, but what’re you gonna do
Fingers poised above the quick dial
Been here a while
Waiting for the song to end
And then
Hit redial with hope
But another song comes, so nope
Back to waiting
Hope is waning
Kids are screaming
But I keep dreaming
Winning is the lure
Free tickets are the cure
For the summertime blues
Or my shit I will lose
The kids trampling my patience
Their will stronger than my endurance
Keeping them off screens
Is harder than it seems
Playland passes are a saviour
In curbing bad behaviour
But this intense heat of day
Keeps outdoor activities at bay
The cell’s battery is hot
But sleep it cannot
Because the cue will come
When I let down my guard
So with numb bum
I await my reward
*sigh*
