Nurses go to and thro.

While on the ward

The patients mostly feel bored.

Some watch daytime TV

Or sleep the day away.

As for me

I look forward to visiting time

And meantime rhyme.

.

I find the nurses are kind.

They will chat

Of this and that.

.

I grow fat

But try to exercise.

Its no surprise

That food breaks up the day

So patients eat

To keep the boredom at bay.

.

At boarding school

The lights went out at 10.

The hospital’s rules

Are similar to them.

.

Here there is no beer.

Lights stay on longer,

(But the nurses control them).

.

I grow stronger

And desire my own bed

And private time

To indulge in rhyme.

And our sordid affair –

Now I’m corresponding with her lawyer called Joe …!

Wine on the Ward

There once was a nurse named Maude

Who worked on a large hospital ward.

A patient called Divine

Sneaked in some wine,

So they kicked her off that ward!

I am bored.

11 Replies

I am bored, but alive

And appear to thrive.

The hospital food is good,

But too much pud

Will make me very fat,

So I avoid that!

..

I don’t miss my beer

As much as I thought I would,

But I wish I could

Make the day less drear with beer!

..

I hear the seagulls cry

And I would fly

Away if I could

But I am stuck here

In this place drear.

Yet I am still alive

And appear to thrive!

Hyacinths in a Hospital Garden

12 Replies

I knelt and smelt

 Hyacinths in the hospital garden.

Their scent

Was delicate and sweet.

.

The next time I went

To that self-same garden

Their scent

Had already been spent.

.

I grow much stronger,

Yet ponder

On a hospital garden

And scent

So soon spent.
