"Cold tired and distressed they did wait,

Shivering outside  in the cold for their jab fate.

My 74 year old husband waited two hours for his prize,

He was frozen and shaking with tears in his eyes.

 

Some were in wheelchairs waiting in the freezing cold,

Not a healthy situation for a 70 to 80 year old.

The vaccination service in the Cathedral has been set up at a pace,

The staff are working hard but the long queues are a disgrace.

 

Vaccinations by the powers have been increased to unmanageable figures a day,

Thats why there were such long queues at Blackburn Cathedral today.

I had my jab earlier at my medical centre,not long to wait,

The whole thing took half an hour,in front of me just eight."
