The Nurses Day

It's been a terrible day - how can we explain?

The staffing was good no cause to complain

All senior staff - knew their job well

But still in all the day's been like Hell!

There was old Mr Bill he decided to fight

While we held his left he hit with his right

And old Mr Parker has taken off for the bush

We still haven't found him in all the day's rush

And old Mr Rucheff spat out his morning feed

And then Mrs Roseway she started to bleed

We just got her right all under control

When in five new admissions started to roll!

And then Mrs Phyllis (she's used to private care)

Started to demand why the staff wasn't there

And how could the cook serve her such a dish

And didn't we all know she was allergic to fish!

And old Mrs Beamis she wanted the commode

I took it away but Lord What a Load!

The commode you all know the wheels are all skew

I cornered too fast and out the pan flew!

The pan hit the floor with a terrible smash

Up flew the contents and come down with a splash

I looked around in horror just what could I do

The floor, the walls, the ceiling all covered in Poo!

And now they've told us- Oh it just isn't fair

the staffing's not right it's all up in the air

We've too many staff we have to cut back

So I don't care anymore - please give me the sack!
