It Seems To Me All Doctors Are

It Seems To Me All Doctors Are

It seems to me all doctors are

In order for supporting staff,

Though nurses—in particular—

Are better far for me by half.

Although doctors effect a cure

A nurse I’d certainly prefer

To doctors that I just endure

So as to get along with her.

For, when I’m in the hospital,

Nothing is really like a nurse

To make me feel I’m very well

Or better if I’m feeling worse.

Whatever that may be about

The doctor simply hasn’t got

The wherewithal to get me out

Of feeling well that I am not.

For there is nothing like a gal

To make up for the expertise 

Which doctors in the hospital

Do for a treatment of disease;

As, all the nurses gather round

To say how young it is I look,

As not on paper could be found,

(My age one probably mistook)

For being seen the way they see,

A Chinese girl and Philippine

Can do a whole lot more for me

Than any doctor I have seen. 

The fact is what they have to say

Is worthy of my going through

Whatever since it makes my day,

Whatever doctors have to do. 

Since, in the end, it’s the result

Of nurses’ talents to appease

The patients that they catapult

Out of a symptom of disease;

So that is more appealing than

The aspirin which takes effect

For nurses show me I’m a man

Whose admiration I’d reflect.
