What a Turnaround!
Looks like someone's out of bed.
Eyes nice and clear
And your sheets are so clean.
What a turnaround!
Keep this up and we can
Take off those old bandages.
"Out of bed"
She said.
There's a pounding in my head,
And my limbs feel like lead.
I'm not out of bed,
I'm just not quite dead.
I'll make your bed
And then it's time to eat.
I think it's oatmeal and ham
In the cafeteria today.
You like that, right?
I won't take a bite
Not in this hell of white.
It would be a delight
To see some sunlight
But this jacket's so tight.
You're getting so thin
Dear, I wish you'd eat more
Don't skip lunch today
You need your iron.
The food is crud
And your staff is dud;
One fell with a thud
After they cleaned my blood.
How about this:
Eat your meal, and you can
Go to the infermary.
Oh joy,
Their messanger boy
Will undress me like a toy.
Your gause is dirty,
You'll infect your wrists!
I want my clot
To cause my rot.
Emergency in the psych ward!
My pain's been ignored.
