WHEN SAMMY GOT LOCKED IN THE STORE
Ten years ago when Daughter No2 was a student at Nottingham Trent University she took a part-time job at Primark. Until this happened.
The lights were all dimmed, they’d cashed the tills
The staff had gone home, their usual drill
A day uneventful without any thrills
In fact a bit of a bore
Till,
Sammy got locked in the store.
She’d waited till shift-end to change her clothes
She gone to the toilet but started to doze
And when she awoke she suddenly froze
Realising as she tried the door
That,
Sammy was stuck in the store.
She shouted and hollered but no-one was there
She tried all the exits she tried all the stairs
At first she panicked, but then she declared
With a logic far surer than mine
“I know –
I’ll dial 999”.
The desk sergeant thought it a bit of a hoax
He’d suffered before from these type of jokes
As often as not some drunken blokes
But Sammy convinced the police
That -
She needed them for her release.
Their sirens were blazing for Sammy’s rescue
Assisted by firemen and ambulance crew
They’d even brought Primark’s manager too
(Stripey pyjamas he wore)
So –
Sammy don’t work there no more.

Yes, Stephen. She was crying when she phoned us up from inside the store. There wasn’t much we could do from 60 miles away. Besides we were at the quiz and she made us miss questions 22-28. We couldn’t get rid of her!
Thanks for the Like, Kev.
