The weekend off.
Some days are just superb.
You awake on your weekend off
to find it is pissing with rain,
good.
The grass can wait.
Tonight is the Hospital night out.
Domestics, cooks nurses and admin
staff will all gather at eight o clock
in the Ex Serviceman club.
It is staff hoolie time.
You arrive feeling airbrushed
and wearing the Brando Brand,
cool confident and intimidating.
You even manage to avoid
the correct amount of money
for your tables drinks kitty.
You can tell the nurses are in fine form,
all short skirts and low tops
instead of hospital trousers.
Freedoom.
All those who are off the next day
are up for it
and those who are working
think about a sickie.
Fools,
no will power.
The night is going great
and it nears the last dance
and you have an interest.
She seems older
but you don"t catch her name.
As the DJ speaks you ask
if a refreshment is required.
It is elbows at the bar.
You shout
"What would you like?"
A been round the block face
looks you right in the eye.
"Why a vodka and cock
of course."
Man I love the Health Board,
and weekends off.
