Things grow slowly every day
Imperceptibly
Until one day
You wake up and realise it’s grown.
It happens to forms in the NHS
And to managers to fill in the forms.
But as beds shrink to pay more staff,
Only patient waiting list grow.
Clutter grows one thing at a time
Imperceptibly until it’s there.
Then you have a devil of a job
To get rid of it !
have I grown to ‘groan” you tell me
