Nurses

NURSES Tell me this question nurse Describe how you ever see me A wrinkly old fuss pot woman At the grand old age of 93 You wash and you dress me You feed each one of us Its your job but i hear you moan When one of us makes a fuss. I'll tell you all about my life Right where do you want me to start Sit down now i'm ready to begin It's all about me straight from the heart Iwas born in them war days My father he was killed there My Mother worked as hard as she could She fed us all and made us pray. Married at a very young age Yes at the age of twenty two My mother was not very happy I was pregnant what could i do Seven children altogether It was hard in them days My kids had to go to work To pay for their own ways My husband sadly passed away Seventy two when he died I still hold our moments Safely locked inside Children lives of their own Don't bother to see me no more But not one minute passes When i hope to see them at the door That's all about me now I'm feeling tired ready for bed Please can you aid me nurse To rest my weary head.
