The People Labeler

There he was
The people labeler
At the waiting hall,
His perfect hunting ground.

There goes the important man,
Who needs to cut the line,
There the fat man
Irritated at everything and everyone,
Nearby the jovial father playing with his children,
The clever -- in fact outright devious --
Advertising people behind the giant TV ads,
The listless officer, heck the average diligent worker over there,
The impatient people scattered around,
The talkative know-it-alls mixed in among them,
Ready to laugh, talk over, not listen, tell jokes,
The full show on...

Like a child
With a virgin plastic wrap,
Bursting away the perfect little bubbles
What was his label,
The proud, skillful
People labeler?
