Was working in small nursing home
Of merely twenty bed,
Most clients, they were mobile,
While some, they did need fed.
The few who were in wheelchairs
Did also need a hoist,
To save the backs of carers,
Authorities, had that, voiced.
A new hoist, it was purchased
And demonstrated was,
By those who made the product,
To do, was within laws.
The staff, they were all gathered,
In circle sat, did we,
As maker demonstrated
The workings, fo'all to see.
Then came the time for practice,
A "patient" needed she,
To show how sling attached, was,
Then hoisted up, us see.
Now many times beforehand,
The person chosen, did
Lay down in middle circle,
As was by maker, bid.
I have the capability
To flop down on the floor,
Without me having bones cracked,
Or even, being sore.
SO, with me saying nothing,
From my chair, bones went flop,
I lay there few short seconds,
All staff, their jaws, did drop.
I then piped up, ground level,
Relieved, were boss and staff,
"Residents don't fall, mid circle,"
They then, relieved, did laugh.
