Amusing Poems from a Hospital Lab and Beyond

By Tony Walker

Eight years after the first collection many more colleagues have left Northwick Park Hospital Biochemistry laboratory.

I suspect their only real reason is to receive a poem of their own.

I have also included a few poems from other parts of my life - church and college and friends.

As before some have turned into songs.

It was many years ago

In a country that we know

There lived a man who was to found a great nation

He was big, he was strong

But if anything went wrong

He'd say, Let's stabilise the situation!

He was large, he was tall

He gave it everything, his all

But still had many years of trial and tribulation

And when his time was done

He passed the baton to his son

Who had to stabilise the situation

He was lucky, he was brave

He didn't stop to have a shave

He was always to his peers an inspiration

For more than 600 years

Of blood, sweat, toil and tears

The cry was, Stabilise the situation!

He has a follower today

In the shape of Mr A

He could redefine an Abdication

He was one of seven brothers

I won't mention any others -

You can use your own imagination

He started on a Quest

But it wasn't for the best

He soon had to submit his resignation

Then he came to Northwick Park

Where he quickly made his mark

As it was a much more stable situation

He rose up through the ranks

Without playing any pranks

Till he was running nearly all of Automation

And when a line would crash

He'd be there in a flash

And say, Just stabilise the situation

(Even when he was a boy

Playing with his favourite toy

He'd give it all his concentration

And when a train would crash

He'd make it tidy in a flash

And he would stabilise the railway station)

Then the time came to move on

He was here then he was gone

The job just didn't meet his expectation

But he was large, he was wide

He had nowhere left to hide

And he wanted to avoid a confrontation

But we could not let him go

Without saying, No, no, no

We have to thank you for your total dedication

Take these presents and this card

And although it might seem hard

Go out, explore and find your true vocation

So if you don't know what to do

This is my advice to you

I offer it by way of explanation

Try watching Series 2

And find out, What would Osman do?

Then go ahead and lay your own foundation.
