Chapel for funerals on site of hospital by Katherine

Theresa May has ordered that all corridors in hospitals be  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  could be “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

The wildest thing that children see today….

Are tiny weeds that grow in payments cracked

Mere tom cats overgrown that bite in play.

No quivering thorn to show us what we lack

Where is the wild acacia, where the thorns?

And where the gypsy people and their tents

Where is the open space where Christs ars born?

Where the hand of God, the sacraments?

We fear and yet we love all nature wild 

Although we have destroyed it to make roads

The gods of  vegetation are defiled

Yet children pick the weeds that grow abroad.

What is our dark desire that we have lost?

No one knows and children pay the cost?

Life begins in wilderness and joy

And from the nest the little birds will fly
