It's Just a Little Prick

Just a little prick To all the girls that come to my door To look after me while I am sick You walk right in each morning saying Hi... It’s just a little prick. Each day you come and take my blood You helped my tock regain its tick You calmed me down when I was fraught With ... Just a little prick. The dose was high, the problems grew It seems someone was taking the mick I was beginning to be afraid of the words … It’s just a little prick My belly is bulging all black and blue My veins all swollen and thick But you come with your smiles twice a day In your hand ... a little prick. I hide in corners saying I am not in I have letters to send and stamps to lick But you walk in with a grin so wide Saying … its just a little prick. My hubby is getting worried His dreams nearly all come true A house full of uniformed nurses He doesn’t know what to do... So girls although I thank you You team has been magnifique Unless your are called Bob or Bill You can keep your little prick... © GG 31/10/2013
