People say sometimes
All carers, social workers, mental health workers is sit and drink tea
They never read a care plan
They just assume from jealousy and insecurity
When they are questioned they clearly don't know
How to be a carer
That our role is frowned upon when we are forceful
Sometimes they just want to lay in bed
Not do a thing
How do you know all we did is sup tea
We catch the bus because there maybe no parking
We walk in sleet, rain, heatwaves and Ice storms to the shops
To make them smile
This is our duty
We look at a care plan and follow the rules
If we are paid to be a companion and drink tea we drink tea and make them jolly
