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.
