Student nurses chatter About nothing that matters. They say he’s needy And the plant his wife left is weedy. They’ve got psychology tests in a week And their dissertations need a tweak. They genuinely try to assist As he resists. He says that’s not going to help. With a yelp That’s half alive He wants to thrive And it would Suck If he ran out of luck. They’ve been paid to do what they like And now they get marked on what they write. They talk about forthcoming exams Like 2 amateur dramatic hams. Too tiny bitches Looking for rags to riches.

Long term sick woman hobbles As her foot wobbles On uneven ground taking Her back to the job she was forsaking. It’s all a matter of choice says The line manager in 5 different ways. I need someone to Sell underwear adds The head of department and pads Out the review meeting with gritted What ifs and if onlys kitted Out in the company colours they leave The worker on canes bending To finish a back to work chat that’s never ending. It’s hard you know with back ache And health n safety that twists like a snake To work here any longer And top up on your wonga you need to be stronger Than an anaconda
