Dressed and Ready

Here I sit dressed and ready

Like so many times before.

Waiting oh, so patiently

For someone to appear.

Maybe I should go ahead and

Just walk out that door, or

Maybe I should get a cattle prod

To get your butt in gear.

Are we destined once again

To make our entrance late?

Burdened with apology as

We walk through the door.

Is it karma? Destiny?

Or is it simply fate

That wears as thin as onion skin

And smells down to the core?

Just once if you would still my fears

‘Twould make my nerves unsteady,

Were I the one to come downstairs 

And find you dressed and ready.
