'Life at the Office' Christmas Carol
With apologies to 'While Shepherds watched their flocks'...
While Social Workers write reports
All seated at their desks,
The Strategic Manager came down
And interest was aroused.
'Fear Not' said she, for mighty dread
Had seized their suspicious minds.
'Good tidings from Ofsted I bring
And you will be surprised'.
'You're now OUTSTANDING,' and forthwith
The managers agreed.
'Do more with less, keep standards up
Or we will be aggrieved!'
For you at fostering this day
Need to recruit more Carers.
We have 400 children, plus;
And now those numbers scare us.
'It's up to you to bail us out
And keep our budgets down.
We must meet targets and cut costs',
Said the strategic manager, with a frown.
'Fear not', said the team manager, don't worry so
The Team will do their stuff.
They'll get more Carers, they're so good
You'll have more than enough'.
All Glory be to Plans and Aims
To Targets and Deadlines,
To Supervisions and Meetings,
What else would pass the time?
