Hospital Life
Life in the Hospital goes like this.
To start the day: a little basin to clean all
With the entrance of the Grand Slam Breakfast,
Next the Physical Therapist with the walker,
Slowly, painfully a few steps down the hall.
Followed by the O.T. teaching living skills
Back to the room with a sigh of relief
Into the chair absolutely no beef
Nurse tech, your blood pressure and pulse checks
Medicines arrive, in a sec.
With a nod of the head, a soft doze you go.
Again a tray is set smack at your nose.
You scan the tray, exclaim with a shout,
“Too much to eat, with out a doubt’.
As the Physician breezes in and out.
With a humph and a ha!
Nice long nap in the easy chair
Snoring away without a care.
Awaken in time for the evening news
Phone calls arrive to chase the blues.
Dinner comes in a sudden surprise
Care and love graciously poured
Wait! Food is here, as before
Eat the food, so there is no uproar
A little of this, a little bit of that
Appetite isn’t one to make one fat.
With the help of the nurse, back to bed, a sigh of relief
