Ode To A Nurse
Bedpans and call lights, contagious pneumonias,
IV's and bandaids and huge hematomas,
Nine feet of packing all covered with green;
These are a few of your favorite things.
Wheezing and sneezing and coughing up phlegm balls,
Slipping on vomit expelled into the halls,
Sputum that glistens while blown out in strings;
These are a few of your favorite things.
Hepatitis, phlebitis, fractures of the head,
You nurses will care for our every need,
While we are laid up...in...bed.
We Won't Be Quiet. We Sing Your Praises.
Thank You For All That You Do!
