Here's a second offering to Poet's Corner from an anonymous local lady - we call her "Bella".

"Social Services"                        

We are the Social Services
(We know just what to do)
When people phone to ask for help - 
We stick 'em in our queue!

If you think granny needs a swill
(And grandad’s rather ripe)
We’ll pass them on to "meals on wheels" - 
And stuff 'em full of tripe!

And when it's time to visit them
(To reassess the needy)
We’ll allocate them "hardly owt" - 
So they don't get too greedy.

So if your seeking respite care
(And don’t know what to do)
or if your kids have wandered off
or got stuck in the loo - 
or Aunty Mabel's "gone berserk" - and left you feeling blue!

Then contact Social Services
(Who know just what to do)
Just phone our special help-line - 
And pop right in that queue!
