Anything & Everything

Feet and radiators
Don't readily mix
Waiting for an assessment
To see what needs a fix

We're not the only ones
Queuing up today
All manner of ails and injuries
Loosely on display

Customers looking bored
How long is the wait
Is written on every single face
On that there's no debate
Minutes pass like hours
Phone battery races down
T talks seemingly non-stop
I show a deeper frown

The joys of visiting A&E
Like hell, here for eternity

Expectation builds
When the nurse calls out a name
Till you realise it's not yours
You're not even in the frame

Feet and radiators
Should be banned for ever more
I'd rather be performing
The world's most horrible chore

Customers getting restless
I'm included too
Want to get up and pace about
But that would never do
Stiff upper British
Is what's required now
But I don't see my self restraint
Managing somehow

The joys of visiting A&E
In hell, for all eternity
