A & E

By Ashvin Mistry

Cough, wheeze, splutter, sneeze,
Liquoirish allsorts in A & E.

Slouched, hobbling, whisper, breathe,
musical chairs at 20 to three.

Me or you, peek a boo,
Playing bingo with the ladies in blue.

Jabbed, prodded, peeled, dripped
Bring out the box of magical tricks.

Up, down, high, low,
Diagnostic shuffle from Dr Know.
