Ted's Spots

The day his wife found Ted in bed
with spots upon his skin
she promptly called the ambulance.
They quickly took him in.              *Thumbsup*

Upon a trolley he was put
and covered with a sheet.
They placed a name band on his wrist
and bed socks on his feet.              *Worry*

The waiting room was oh so full,
They didn't have the time
to take a look at old Ted's spots.
He'd have to wait in line.                  *Thumbsdown*

They left him in the corridor.
His wife went for a meal.
Ted fell asleep.  Two porters came
and freed the trolley wheel.            *Smile*

They pushed the gurney down the hall.
Old Ted, he just slept on
and when his wife returned from lunch,
she looked, but he was gone.          *Confused*

A and E was in an uproar,
nowhere could they find Ted.
His distraught wife then threw a fit
and ended up in bed.                    *Sick*

They searched all of the hospital
but nowhere could be found
the trolley with Ted and his spots.
It must have gone to ground.        *Confused*

Meanwhile Ted woke up in the dark.
He thought he was in hell.
It sure didn't feel like Heaven
but then, how could he tell?          *Worry*

He got down from the trolley and
he felt round for the door.
He found a light switch, turned it on.
You should have heard him roar.    *Shock*

They'd put him in the mortuary
along with all the dead.
No way was he remaining here!
He scarpered home to bed.            *Shock*

And that's where his dear wife found him
upon arriving home.
Laid on the bed, pushing out z's
in harsh, intensive tone                    *Rolleyes*

The moral of the story is
'Forget the National Health'
You'll get much better treatment if
you pay for it yourself!                      *Rolleyes*
