Roys Dilema

 Roys Dilema 

By Sis Unsworth 

Roy felt quite despondent, as he lay in the hospital bed.

He thought back through his life, He’d done everything they said.

They told him to stop smoking, and cut down on the booze,

he’d always walked and exercised, like they told him on the news.

The flu jab he’d complied with, and the Covid vaccine too,

when he considered everything, there’s not much more he could do.

Being an older gentleman, filled Roy with apprehension,

Someone said we live too long, they can’t afford our pension.

Now he felt quite guilty, that he did what he’d been told,

If he hadn’t taken notice, He’d not have grown so old.

But what really did upset him, he heard what the nurse just said.

“He must go to a different place, he’s blocking up a bed…”
