I walk into the surgery,
My injection is now due,
I surrender all my details,
And stand waiting in the queue.
The staff float all around us,
Seeing that we are alright,
A smile upon their faces,
Their demeanour very bright.
I’m called into the surgery,
My jab is to now be done,
The medic explains what happens,
I know this I must not shun.
I am sent into another room,
To wait for a little while,
To ensure that all is right,
Then I can leave with a smile.

My covid injections were given,
Twice down to the surgery
To have a needle stuck into me,
To prevent that dreadful disease spreading,
Spreading even more than it has.
Both times into the surgery I went
Where the staff were so busy,
But on each occasion the respect was there,
Respect for each other,
And respect for all.
As I came away on both occasions
The thought came to me
How wonderful these staff are
In the business of their current lives.
I was treated with such respect,
But even better was the humour,
Humour pervaded the surgery
Helping everyone to proceed,
Proceed in their lives
In these ‘Strange Times’
With a smile on their faces.

- Comment from author about the poem: Two for the price of one today. I have had both of my covid jabs and went to the same health surgery for them. The staff were absolutely marvelous and so very busy but there seemed to be a smile on all their faces and I was treated with such respect and such humour. I have sent these poems to the surgery.

A fine write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
Good experience by the sound of it, Andy.
Humour in such situations makes a big difference, and they sound like the kind of people who would really enjoy a ringing endorsement - and in poetic form too.
Your words were good stuff by any standards.
Thank you Dave, it really surprised me how positive and happy the medics were in these awful situations.

A Covid vaccination is nothing but an exchange of hope... Stay blessed...
That hope is always within us.
