Retired At Last
I”ve been a shop assistant
Home –help
Carer, warden, nurse and
Theatre –support
I've been a wife, mother
Grandma
I've never had a report......
To say I should try harder
Or pull up my socks
Some staff didn't notice me
Others put me on a box
Well a pedestal really
They've made me feel great
In all my years at the hospital
I never made a patient wait
I'd give them a buzzer
And say ”just ask for Jean”
I always went back
I was always keen
So after forty odd years
I've called it a day
Instead of working
It's now rest and play
