Waiting for a lady

Waiting for a lady

I’m sitting on a chair outside
The loo in a department store
I’m waiting for my partner
Like many gents before

Why ladies spend so long in loos
In a mystery no man knows
But I know we have to wait for them
That’s how the story goes

Now men are very different
They must have simpler gear
You never see ladies waiting
For their men folk to appear

Zip down, zip up wash hands
The job is now complete
Then out again to wait for hours
Thank god there is a seat

Above this chair there ought to be
Inscribed upon a metal plate
A message plain for all to see
“We also serve who only sit and wait”
