Nurse Nancy

Two doctors were standing in the hall,
discussing a brand new nurse.
Her name was Nancy and she was blonde,
and they had never seen one worse.

She does everything you tell her backwards,
the first doctor did exclaim.
“I’ll tell you what she did yesterday”,
he said and cursed her name.

I said “In an hour give a patient an enema,
and another in ten hours, if I decide.”
She gave him ten enemas in one hour,
the patient almost died.

The second doctor shook his head,
and said, “I must agree.”
“Everything she does is backwards,
or it seems that way to me.”

Just then they heard a shattering scream,
sounding like the voice of doom.
They started running down the hall,
toward the patient’s room.

Nurse Nancy was holding the patient down,
continuing with her toil.
“Nurse Nancy,” the first doctor exclaimed.
I said “ Prick the patient’s boil !”

'TIL CALLED AGAIN


I'VE LIFT MY GLASS, AND DRINK MY SHARE,
OF THE WINE THAT'S KNOWN AS PRIDE.
AND WALKED AMONG SOME GALLANT MEN,
AND MATCHED THEM STRIDE FOR STRIDE.

I'VE CRAMMED MY MIND WITH DEVIOUS WAYS,
TO DEFEAT THE ENEMY'S GOAL.
AND KEPT INSIDE FOR LOYALTY'S SAKE,
THE TALES THAT CAN'T BE TOLD.

THE NEED IS GONE FOR MY SERVICE NOW,
I'LL HANG UP MY "GREEN BERET".
AND SIP NO MORE, THE WINE OF PRIDE,
'TIL CALLED AGAIN SOMEDAY.

The Soldier
I’ve fought up on high mountains,
on dry deserts and on plains.
I’ve fought in dazzling sunshine,
and in snowfalls and in rains.

I’ve fought my way through hedgerows,
and on dozens of distant beaches.
I’ve fought in dark infested swamps,
with their gators, snakes and leeches.

I’ve fought in ice cold foxholes,
when feet were frozen numb.
I’ve fought in stifling jungle heat,
and rice patty’s stinking scum.

I’ve fought down in dark tunnels,
and in fields laden with flowers.
I’ve been badly wounded in battle,
and lay there alone for hours.

I’ve fought with blind and total fury,
and with gut wrenching fears.
I’ve knelt beside downed comrades,
and I could not hide my tears.

I’ve fought with muskets and with lasers,
with my helmet and my fists.
I’ve fought hand to hand many times,
those my bullets may have missed.

I’ve fought from behind stone walls,
from trenches and from tanks.
I’ve paraded in splendid court yards,
as people gave their thanks.

I’ve fought valiantly with honor,
in every fight that I was in.
I’ve asked only for recognition,
for wars they would not let me win.

My name is there on Bunker Hill,
and on the Big Black Wall.
I am your American soldier,
and I still am standing tall.
