Mary goes to a hospital

Mary was going to the hospital wearing her new magenta padded coat and an orange felt hat just like the one her mother used to wear when she went to church, although her mother had never had an orange hat. It would have been considered very bad taste.
In her hand was a long green handbag ; inside this sat her cat, Emile.He was very naughty because he wanted to come to the hospital with her. Emile being a cat will probably not be admitted into the waiting room if she mentioned it to anyone; however ,she was hoping he would keep still.
She did not want to let the cat out of the bag at the wrong moment especially when she was seeing a lady doctor.
But the staff are so busy they might not notice that he is a cat and before he knows what is happening he may be admitted to the hospital and left lying on a trolley in a corridor for 25 hours. Unlike a human being, Emile is not very patient and he will certainly not lie prone on a trolley all night waiting for the kindness of strangers. As a matter of factm he speaks good English and could easily hold his own in a male ward. Nowadays many of the wards are mixed and would you want to wake up in the morning next to a Tom Cat. That would certainly hit the headlines .
Woman kept for 20 hours on a trolley in a mixed corridor next to a tom cat!At least he is neither a lion nor a lamb.
BTW Theresa May asked corridors to be relabelled as wards also toilets and bathrooms
Where will all the other patients be able to relieve themselves….commodes or earth closets?
Mary is on her way
News from the UK:Hospitals expand

Chapel for funerals on site of hospital
Theresa May has ordered that all corridors in hospitals be relabelled as wards. and given names:
“Long thin dirty blue ward”
“Long yellow windowless ward”
Dull Entrance Lobby Ward for people with claustrophobia.Make sure the wheels on the trolley are locked otherwise you may be ejected when someone opens the door.
Outdoor car park ward for people with TB or asthma plus privy or earth closet free to use.
Multi storey ward for the laid back[summer only]
Also toilets and cloakrooms.
A toilet is “An ensuite ward for one”
Seven toilets are 7 ensuites.Wow.It sounds great
A bathroom is “a ward for people who like sleeping in or near water.”
Since a Ward is now anywhere with a trolley or bed in it, no logician can complain.And if it’s you there, you’ll be too ill.You may even be dead but as there is no nurse in the bathroom, they don’t know, Neither do I
Song of the Earth
Ye spotted snakes from a Midsummer Night’s Dream
I gave my raincoat to the BBC
I gave my raincoat to the BBC
I knew I did not need it anymore.
You see, the BBC ‘s a Charity
I’m gasping for cup of hot sweet tea
As down the rain has bombed, all day it roared
I gave my dresses to the BBC
I threw my maths books with hilarity
Into a recycling bin ,oh joy!
I thought that was a kind of Charity
If it rains I shan’t go out, you see.
I can do what e’er I want for evermore
I gave my flimsies to the BBC
I ‘ve got 40 coats ; they all fit me
So why do I keep on buying more and more
I’ll give my cash instead to Charity
I am a generous person in my core
I just look mean because I’m 94
I gave my stockings to the BBC
I thought that was a genuine Charity
Unexpressed emotions

“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.”
― Sigmund Freud
This does not mean dumping our emotions like anger onto the nearest vulnerable person.It means acknowledging and feeling the emotion and when we calm down then we may act more appropriately.
The power of words

Sigmund Freud > Quotes > Quotable Quote
“Words have a magical power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or deepest despair; they can transfer knowledge from teacher to student; words enable the orator to sway his audience and dictate its decisions. Words are capable of arousing the strongest emotions and prompting all men’s actions.”
