Outpatients department
Grantham hospital
Oral Surgery & Orthodontics
Who knows what’s next
Who knows why
Who knows where
No butterflies or songbirds
No beech tree or aspen
No coffee, or tea
But lots of receptionists
Three so far
Have passed me onto the next one
Perhaps it is the new payment system
That’s left the car park so empty
Must remember to pay before I go
My Covid test results
Did not come through
Though Kate said I would be negative
I don’t know
Whether to take that as a compliment
Or if I ought not to pay anyway
