Poetry Please!
Let’s Get Together
It was on a very wet day, one Friday afternoon -
I went to the lounge - it’s a very big room.
There I met a lady, her name was Dee,
She is trying to make us all, feel free.
Free of worries, trouble and strife,
To help us have a better life.
We do different things to show we have skills,
It takes our minds off any ills.
We have a break for biscuits and tea,
Thanks to our host, whose name is Dee.
Sometimes she plays music for us all to singalong
Even though sometimes, we don’t know the lyrics of the song
But we all try to sing to the music she plays
It gives us a lift to get through the day
But when all is done and things put away and nothing to see - I would like to say a very big thanks,
To a lady called Dee.
