amazing. doggerel is a step up.
consider the course your life has taken
do you think that, thus far, you are all right?
or perhaps you understand now that
your life, your existence, is tragedy

I work with sick and broken children at night.
I can fix broken bones, suture cuts, heal infections.
Always, of course, under a physician's direction.

Sometimes no medicine can cure their fright,
as the worst wounds come not from a gun or a blade,
but from their parents, who were supposed to love what they made.

All I can do is hold them and say it will be all right,
or give the kid a teddy bear and say it will protect them.

Though knowing deep down that I had lied,
and sadly, I was right, because two weeks later the kid died.

The demands present in the nurse's course,
Or that of the PCT and PA,
Still are no excuse for the deficiency
in meter you demonstrate all over.
