Post-Vacation

Two weeks off.........I changed briefly, the job changed not at all. But not to worry, I had no expectations of that happening.

Berserking

Post-vacation, back to work

Another usual day,

Unpredictable berserking

For unsubstantial pay,

A bystander might disagree

Saying, Nurses are just highly paid waiters,

But this is like diving into a placid pond

To find it inhabited with gators.

Knowing how to tread water won't be enough

Olympic endurance required,

Hand-to-hand combat with battle awareness

And prepared for artillery fire,

Yes, these are the skills that will serve you best

After the day shift, waves their goodbyes,

At 5:31, all Hell will break loose

And we do what we do

So nobody dies.
