Rage against

You need to fill in a time sheet if
you are sick
you want to switch shifts
you want time off
if you work overtime
if you are being paid from another cost centre

And make sure that they are
recorded
initialed
approved
faxed
entered

If a 10 year old child arrives 90 minutes before your shift
Even if it's getting on to midnight
They are to wait
Even if they're tired
For the next person
Or else you might work overtime
Which you'd need to get approved
And record
And initial
And fax
And enter

If a 16 year old is coming from a hospital hours away
And they were sent to you
So they've been through a wait
And a screen
And a discharge
And a travel
But if it's 90 minutes before your shift
They are to wait
For the next person
Or else you might work overtime
Which you'd need to get approved
And record
And initial
And fax
And enter

And if a kid needed a place to be safe
You need to ask a doctor
To ask a doctor
To page a doctor
To tell a doctor
To have the doctor come in
And talk with the kid
And fill out the papers
And fill out more papers
And call security
And call a nurse
And walk them up
And make sure you
Record it
Initial it
Fax it
Enter it

And if a kid needed someone to talk to
They talk to the first person
Then another
Then another
Then you
And you ask them the questions on the form
And maybe a few others
And you record it
And initial it
And file it
So that it gets faxed
And scanned
And entered

But if a kid needs a bus ticket
Or a hug
Or a friend
Or an ally
Or your opinion
Be careful
Or don't do it
Because you'd have to record it
Initial it
File it
Fax it
