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
