A collection of potentially misremembered facts about Florence Nightingale for NO GOOD REASON.
Though you cared a lot
You weren’t very good at your job.
And after the war
You spent a lot of time in bed.
Speaking of bed,
Those beds you shared
With high born ladies
And rough peasant wenches:
Were you overcome with lust
Or simply tired and not fussed?
If mediocrity,
Sapphic rumours
Fatigue
And a lamp
Made you famous
I need to buy a torch.
