Midnight Dispenser

Midnight Dispensers

You're watching the clock, its just gone four

soon you'll be finished and straight out the door

but what about those lowley dispensers

who cover the midnights you go on your benders!

You're hanging around for what you've waited to hear

The music's been stopped, then someone shouts, "clear!"

The customers have gone, now your all leaving

a solitary goodbye makes it seem more like greiving

The dispenser waves, and cheerly says goodbye

whilst deep inside he's starting to cry!

The jealousy deep, coursing through his veins

but he needs the money, so he has no complaints (?)

He starts to work, counting the scripts

sorting through labels, drug boxes and bits

"its wrong again" "they don't add up"

excuse me love, you were at home with your feet up!

The op's staff are out, filling all the beauty shelves,

He'd go and help, but pharmacy's told to keep to themselves,

An age old habbit he broke on a whim,

So now each week he's filling shelves to the brim!

He serves the patients, the ones in a rush,

Who've just nipped to the Dr's in between flush, 

He'll serve the ones too, who have an addictive habit

to cocodamol or paramol, they just need to have it

He counsels them once, then just once more

he'd give them advice but there goes the door

a confused patient is breaking it down

to try and get in, they'd noisely pound

forgetting that, just to there right,

a perfectly working bell, pretty and bright!

"i only want bonjella" or "'brufen" they'd say

He's really not fussed at this point, as long as they pay 

It's 11.59, nearly time for him to go

and then they arrive, behold and lo'

the last minute loon who thinks thats its right

to get a 3 day old prescription in the middle of the night!

He should of done some date checking, but he didn't have time

instead he wasted this night coming up with a rhyme!

and so he wrote this all down, just for you

so now you know just what Midnight Dispensers do!

They keep the pharmacy open till the morrow's first light 

Those midnight dispensers, who 'work' through the night!
