One Girl’s Journey
Location
Once upon a time, there was a girl who tried to rhyme
About her life’s journey.
With all her soul, she wanted to reach her goal
Of healing those on a gurney.
She went to college to get some knowledge
In matters of biology.
With this degree, she hoped to see
A future studying cardiology.
It may seem bizarre to want to work in the ER
But she’s unique, as they say.
She started to volunteer to make sure this was the career
To bring her joy everyday.
The job of the doctors, she found, seemed quite drowned
In paperwork of “Subject presents…”
And the patient interaction was quite lacking in satisfaction
In terms of the time spent.
The nurses’ job was quite sweet ‘cause they were the ones to treat
The poor people who contracted mange.
But it was her senior year and Alas, Oh Dear!
It was late for her major to change.
So now she wants to be a nurse but has no money in her purse
To pay for a second school.
She wants to win the money so she can be the sunny
Nurse who collects your stool.
