City And Guilds



I have my City and Guilds in Security
Procedures
I was once the Deputy Security Site Manager
at The Department of Health
I asked John Smith about his rook
Virginia Bottomley looked like a witch
Bob Legge my boss went into Fashion Design
Dean Dunphy my Supervisor went into Mean Time
I picked up an International Forklift Truck
Driving Certificate
Shirley Clausen handed me it
I got sick because of the pressure
And spent six months in London Colney
From there to a Psychiatric Group Home for
four years
Today I am a member of The New Labour Party
