New Invention for Patience

Poetics Aside Prompt; Write about a piece of technology or engineering that does not exist but that should.  It could be a tribute to something that came to be because of a writer’s imagination, like a helicopter or a submarine or a filtration system that makes urine potable.  Or it could be the original imagination that may one day lead to a new piece of technology, like cloud movers, flood distributors, skyhooks, or levitation chairs.

( I realize my poem is not exactly technology but, it would be nice if someone invented this:) Due to mothering challenges this is the first thought that came to mind:))

Mankind discovers countless cures

To soothe or relieve our ill

But I wish that somebody could invent

A healthy patience pill

Then, for life’s sudden grievances

Or lack of kind good-will

We wouldn’t fret, but simply pop

A little patience pill

Technology is never done

Progress never stands still

And I’m inclined to think someday

They’ll make a patience pill

For traffic jams or check-out lines

While waiting for Jill or Bill

Or as we wait to see the doc

We pop a patience pill

And wouldn’t it be lovely

If we could get a free re-fill

Simply by snapping our fingers

Oops, I think we need a patience pill
