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...
