Patients Dilemma

Its breakfast time 
On ward B1
Wonder what they have
To fill our tum.

Cereals or porridge
He says without a smile
Croissant today
No toast for a mile

So croissants we have
With butter qnd stuff
Ate them with gusto
Is one enough?

But why oh why
Do the crumbs always fall
Into our beds
Our nighties as well

They make us itch
As though we have fleas
But if they say have another
We'd all say "Yes please""

But tonights the night
Fish and chips for all four
Ate with our fingers
Then sleep and a snore.

Funny how the simplest of poems leads to some self discovery. I was going to make a comment about this poem, but realized that would probably be true about most poems. Nice fun poem.
