Val’s poem during the pandemic

Ladies and Gentlemen of Briggs Lodge
working by night and by day
keeping the residents comfortable
keeping them out of harm’s way
Their work is never stinted
done with a smile and cheery word
They do the rounds and cosset
And no complaints are ever heard
Since I came I’ve come to notice
how smoothly it all seems to run
and caring for only the elderly
may not be enormous fun
So let’s give them some praise, they deserve it
for troubles and woes they won’t dodge
Thanks for your true dedication
Three Cheers for the staff of Briggs Lodge
