When a Strange Young Lady Named Gwen

When a strange young lady named Gwen

Went and woke me at around 10,

And I said, “are you a nurse?

She said, “no! its far, far worse!”.

Then she showed her fangs did Gwen …!

Hospital Humour

I know a pretty nurse in red

Who said, “you must get into bed!”.

I said, “that sounds nice!

But what is your vice!”,

Then she beat me around the head!

Tedium

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 longe...

Always Write What you Know

When a young lady named Miss Flow

Said, “you must always write what you know”,

I wrote about her

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.

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!

Juliette the Vet

There was a young lady named Juliette

Who got a job as a vet.

A crocodile called Nile

Gave her a smile

As he ate that vet named Juliette.

Hyacinths in a Hospital Garden

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.

Just Heels

I know a young lady in heels

Who loves to swim with the seals.

Her name it is Rose

And she wears no clothes –

But she does keep on her heels!
