If I live in this Lodge much longer
I know I will lose my mind.
To Creek view I will ponder,
to be among my own kind.
Mental abuse by the staff,
an elderly man hollering continually,
over his head, I will break my staff –
I don’t like being called sissy names,
If they would take my place – what a laugh!
Losing my temper with a name, so called,
Sweet pea, honey bun and all that raff.
Out West to British Columbia,
My Prayer Partner beckons me.
An answer to prayer, can that be?
