Hospital visiting

I’m sorry that you’re going spare Because you are still stuck there But for the moment that is where You get your essential care

What is there that I can say That might help brighten your day? Yes, what is there that I may Do to help you on your way?…

Getting all four lines to rhyme Is taking up too much time So I think I will now change How this poem I arrange!…

Maybe there’s a funny tale That I could try to regale Something I have seen or heard Ah, yes, here’s something absurd
