The moon was full, the celebrities shone brilliant
I believed I’d quiet down for the night time
Upon my smooth pillow my head bought caught
Till a telephone name stirred me from my silly thought
On Friday night time of weekend name
One affected person had refused all of it
When Pit was provided, she mentioned, “No method!”
Internals too have been brushed away.
We waited calmly, filled with grace
For pure labor to take its place
And positive sufficient, on Sunday’s eve
After a day of push and heave
She strained and groaned, consumed by dread
Till emerged a CONE-shaped head!
The affected person stared, aghast, in worry
Then was instructed gently, “Your daughter is ok, this quickly will disappear!”
And all was effectively and I exhaled
Till the remainder of the night time turned unveiled
Triages, ED calls, NSTs galore
Then two extra sufferers busted by means of the door.
One was full, the opposite closed and thick
After which one other affected person known as to speak about her trich
Evening’s hail was gone, and morning introduced its storm
Then rainbow gentle appeared, a fleeting, quirky kind:
A post-op affected person farted and went dwelling
A brand new day adopted then got here the night time
The moon and stars but once more shone brilliant
I settled down, to my smooth pillow my head did cling
I wasn’t positive what this night time would carry
And as soon as my eyes have been totally shut
One other affected person got here and wanted to get minimize
With nimble steps and thoughts freed from strife
I went to clean and grabbed my knife
The lights have been brilliant, the sutures laid
One other case finished, a brand new melody performed
The weekend got here after which it went
A time effectively lived, a time effectively spent.
