Reading at the Doctor's Office

Mags of old cars and cancer,
provide my reading fare,
to my interests, not the answer,
hope to avoid all that's there.

Waiting is not so difficult,
as language quirks come to mind.
A patient patient would be nice;
I'll try to be that kind.

So I smile at dismal issues;
to address them, I don't choose,
lest I would use my tissues,
as I entertain the blues.
