A Day in the Life of………
……….…a Clinical Network Group Chairman
Sir Peter Blake
Woke up, fell out of bedDragged a comb across my headFound my way downstairs and drank a cupAnd looking up I noticed I was lateFound my coat and grabbed my hatMade the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smokeAnd somebody spoke and I went into a dream
A Day in the Life. Lennon and McCartney
