Hobbo's Poems
A quirky look at life from a Yorkshire poet and his dog's perspective

Thank you for all your hard work,
And I know you expected a perk,
But were let down, which clearly is wrong,
So, Queen Liz has awarded a gong.
Workers in the U.K National Health Service were hoping for a decent pay rise after all their hard work during the pandemic. They did not get it, but Queen Elizabeth has awarded the NHS service a medal, The George Cross. I'm not sure how much food that will put on the table.

One medal for the whole service versus a payrise for the workers! Massive saving! It’s always disappointing when bean counters make workplaces so much less palatable. Staff are their best investments.

That’s the way it works apparently. Stabbed in the back by a penny pinching government.😒

all praise to the Health workers; a pay rise would have been a material way of saying thank you —
