I've definitely caught the bug, my chest
Was slightly affected, a cough
Every so often, aches in arms and legs
Even in my ears, but it's not as rough
As some have had it. They've taken time off
Been laid low. It's the time of year. The news
Last night showed scenes from hospitals up north
Old people in corridors on trolleys
Vulnerable as always to winter's freeze
The strain on nurses increases and begs
The question, how long will they stay and tough
It out? People become desperate and seize
The chance to escape, a place they can rest
Too many patients, makes them say, Enough!
