Paper Trails

Paper trails, Have long tails, That give us many trials, Before truth prevails, For those of us who are good at removing veils, Recognising tall tales, Own a comb and can follow back trails, All without biting their nails, or going off the rails. For most however a belief in fairy tales, Still prevails, And paper trails, Are proof against their regales, When they find most paper trails, Tell no tales, On those who put a twist in their tails.

You are welcome Caren, when I worked as an Early childhood teacher the number of safety checks that were ticked but never done was shocking. Also some centres had warning and even prosecutions for claiming for phantom children on the role. Some centres I would never have worked at and resigned from others. I did relieving work for a lot of the time. Am still proud of efforts I and others more so did to better conditions for children in care. catch you next time David in NZ
