Let's remind them

Dedicated to the real soldier in my life. You know who you are.

20th of April 2020

The Portuguese nurse Boris did thank and say

had saved his life over his hospital stay

I don’t know him in person but I bet he fought hard

Like most migrants do when they make fresh start

Perhaps spoke English and had more of a chance

To move over here instead of France

I do have a close Romanian friend

Who moved to UK and has had to fend

She works jolly hard and as sincere as they come

I love her to bits but her life isn’t fun

In a 2 bedroom flat with two growing boys

With no room at all for all of their toys

Through work she caught the Covid -19

And for weeks on end she’s self quarantined

She hasn’t a garden to breathe even fresh air

And boys are quite active but where to go Where?

She watches the foxes playing with their 4 cubs

But she’s ever so worried for the lack of her scrubs

The ones she will need when she goes back to work

To help all of those patients on her caseload

Doing house to house visits with the right PPE

For those vulnerable peeps is surely key

To join to be British she had to pass tests

And pay thousands of quid and do all they request

She’d like to earn more so they can buy their own house

with two nurse wages of her and her spouse

But with rent and more taxes then feeding four mouths

That dream they first dreamt is going quick south

Brexit means passports, another 6K

That dream of theirs is slowly fading away

Lets remind them of this, when they next cut her pay

That clapping at 8 won’t put food on her tray
