Hospital haiku

Dinner, they promise,
Will come in sixty minutes.
We live in the now.

Drip goes the I V.
Visitor plays Angry Birds.
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.

A nap! Sleep at last!
Oh no, here comes the P A
Time for a blood test.

Instant coffee: free.
Diet jello: also free.
Patients are not free.

Wash your hands, wash them.
Frequently, with hot water.
Everyone obeys.

Sink handle, door knob.
Rolling walker, telephone.
MRSA lurks.
