Hospital Times Commonsense

Hospital times commonsense Commonsense comes of age during hospital times To trip on innocuous looking lapses and come up with questions Road signs stand for visitors, locals have no need of them So the ambulance man notices one to seek directions from Not to have noticed it so far was not my fault Not to have divined as much was not his, no doubt. But not to have properly known my neighbour was mine For he works and matters in the hospital I am in Parking lots cheat , vacant spaces you eye from a distance Transforms into three cars in as many seconds Short of cash, this old woman is asking for a loan I remember, the one I see on my morning walks alone Another mother in the ICU has no use for frills Her two sons squabbling on the question of sharing bills Take her home to die is the younger one’s demand The scrooge is drunk beyond stupid is what you slowly find Cost of tests and tablets are just fringe accoutrements The bill for their groundswell of goodwill is what in the end counts.
