Stand in line
Happiness glowing off your face
The busy sounds of people’s chatter
Sweet sound of the children’s laughter
Waiting standing in that ticket line
Sun beating off your hair
A bit warm for April
Yet the smell of popcorn calms your cares
One more person finished in line
Another step closer until your time has arrived
You hear a faint sound
Almost like an echo
Pop, pop, pop, snap
The sound gets louder
Pop,pop,pop,snap
So you tap your foot on the ground
Waiting with a quickened pulse
As the line starts moving ever closer
To the little green ticket
A slip of paper really
Your foot gets faster
As you hear that sound grow louder
Pop, pop, pop, snap
Sweat starts leaking down your back
Pop, pop, pop, snap
Bee’s start buzzing
Buzz, pop, buzz, pop, buzz, snap
The laughter grows higher
Chatter seems longer
Buzz, pop, buzz, pop, buzz, snap
You step up you are next in line
The ticket almost right in your hand
You no longer hear the buzz or the snap
The chatter is laughter
Bee’s are sweet little nothings
Reaching the front you gaze at the sign
And it reads
“Foods and Snacks, Ticket’s next window please”
