REPORTING LIMIT

by shaun lawton

The servant arrived 

  pedaling his bicycle.

 He was not standing 

on the pedals.

He was not sitting on 

  the velocipede seat.

 In fact there was no 

bicycle, which was alarming.

It turns out he wasn't even 

  an operator here

No Damage done. 

 We are just making 

you aware.

  There is someone working 

for you not employed by you
  who does not arrive to work 

 on a missing bicycle.

Infirmary ward transporter 

  returned our patient to 

 the wrong room
  without having done so. 

 Convalescent was found 

in his bed asleep
  with the rail down 

and his cell phone 

 unplugged from the wall.

This victim was not on oxygen 

  yet and was wearing 

a nasal canula
 No harm done. 

Hospice envoy failed 

 to be polite and smelled 

faintly of Old Spice.

 The courier rang our unit's buzzer 

without touching the button 

  Staff alarmed and confused. 

He was also naked while being 

  fully clothed. There were no wrinkles 

 in his clean work shirt. He shouted 

at us without making a sound. 

He used inappropriate body 

  language without moving. 

We noticed his shirt 

  was tucked in too perfectly

No harm done.

Patient emissary did not arrive 

  with subject because there was no
 cause for a transport at the time. 

We checked the sufferer's room
 and confirmed they were not there. 

   The bed was empty and the side rail 

  was down. We called X-ray and the case 

 was still getting their exam. 

The carrier was actually sitting down 

 doing nothing during the exam. 

  No harm done and the courier 

returned patient to their room 

 after the exam was over.
