Me mate Keith sent me text me on Skype, from Australia, Brisban

To let me know he had phoned for an ambo

The ambo (ambulance) he were waiting
Did not wait over long
He said he would text to let
I know how he how he's a getting on

Later he text me to let me know
He when he were at home
Excuseraiting kidney stone pains
Rather a bugger
Our Keith has been given morphine

As pains well above panadol strength!
So dreadful is the pain!
Dock now with our Keith, nope wishful thinking
Keith at best sixth in the que!
Now I awaiting latest text, Keith, letting

Me know how it's going!
The queue does not shorten!

As Keith waited, people came in
Jining, Keith the throng of the unwell
Suffering pains and much else besides
Sceames and demands of those who had
Waiting long time as it were!

A were woman rushed in, involved in a car smash
Bought in by a traffic control officer had taken her
To the A&E
No one came to check on the woman!
Some gave her a blanket, she fell asleep in the chare
Woke up later, looked around, gave a shrug, gathered her belongs
And left!
No member of staff had checked her out at all!

Young girl just wants to be not turned out

Back on to the streets again!
Your couple, she were obviously pregnant, nose bleed
She is standing in her blood running down her thighs and legs!
Into a pool around her feet, her man in a proper, num state of mind

Staff attempted moping up the blood, only making it all the worse!
Smearing the blood before the eyes of all there to see!
Keith wants to get out of this hell on earth!
That he can not do, the pains oh his pain, prevent the lad from
Fleeing the Sean!
He sits in provided wheelchair, member of staff, asks, Keith:
'We need it back!' ' Keith declines, whear would he sit?
He explains - why he were sat on it - staff says sorry - moves on
To ask another!
Only the morphine relieving, Keiths, pain

Keith waited and waited and waited some more time!
Houres with nowt to eat, hours without emptying his bladder!
Till he could not hold his wee in any longer, he had to go to lav!
When got back to the A&E, ask for sampol!
By then a bit late to give, Keith, had flushed his wee away!
Only spoon fils could he give, now!

At last, they wheeled,  Keith, to a cubical!
And so delt with the lad, at long last!
Now, Keith, back home, resting as best as he is abul!
