226 Comments for Hayswood Hospital

The locker/sink/drawer combo looks like the ones in the older part of the hospital where I work. Only they aren't quite this disabled....

I don't know which is more disturbing - the photo or the comments! Seems around here we all share the same brand of dreadful humor!

Nice to see 'local' superhero art that actually looks good, usually it looks ugly or freaky. Bet that gave some people smiles.

@eldokid - possibly a child's view of how big grown-up people appear to him or her.

Heartwarming that though literally everything around it is falling apart the poem and illustration still remain. By the way, this poem is from the first few lines of renowed children's humor/poetry writer Shel Silverstien called "Me and My Giant":

I have a friend who is a giant,
And he lives where the tall weeds grow.
He's high as a mountain and wide as a barn,
And I only come up to his toe, you know,
I only come up to his toe.

When the daylight grows dim I talk with him
Way down in the marshy sands,
And his ear is too far away to hear,
But still he understands, he 'stands,
I know he understands.

For we have a code called the "scratch-tap code,"
And here is what we do --
I scratch his toe . . . once means, "Hello"
And twice means, "How are you?"
Three means, "Does it look like rain?"
Four times means, "Don't cry."
Five times means, "I'll scratch you a joke."
And six times emans, "Goodbye," "Goodbye,"
Six times means, "Goodbye."

And he answers me by tapping his toe --
Once means, "Hello, friend."
Two taps means, "It's very nice to feel your scratch again."
Three taps means, "It's lonely here
With my head in the top of the sky."
Four tas means, "Today an eagle smiled as she flew by."
Five taps meanns, "Oops, I just bumped
my head against the moon."
Six means, "Sigh" and seven means, "Bye"
And eight means, "Come back soon, soon, soon,"
Eight means, "Come back soon."

And then I scratch a thousand times,
And he taps with a bappity-bimm,
And he laughs so hard he shakes the sky --
That means I'm tickling him!

Hooray, hooray, a new gallery today! Thank you Motts!@

BKW - you're correct, there were two sets of doors, the outside doors on the floor, and the inside car doors of the elevator. And Flushed, no I didn't have to say what was on the floors (thank god!), there was a directory by each elevator door that told what was on each floor. Matter of fact, I have one of these when they remodeled the place and took them down, I snagged one (with permission of course!)

I can just imagine the over-powering smell!

This building looks like it was made out of one of my favorite toys as a kid (and adult), American Plastic Bricks, same style of brick and window units, pretty cool.

talk about your toxic waste!

Looks like "Spidey" is trying to hold up that wall!

I don't get it, what's the point of this poem?

I call it Marpet.

LOL, autoguy.

And the doors are explosion proof.

As opposed to most bassinets that randomly explode without warning.
