Let's have some fun!

I just read an Aussie poem. It goes:

You're the Gold to my Coast, the Vegemite to my toast

The sea to the sand, the beer in my hand

The thong to my foot, the Rhonda to my Ketut

The kanga to my roo, the barbie to my q

The Wi to my Fi, the sauce on my pie

The harbour to my bridge, the lamingtons in my fridge

The heat to my rash, the grog to my stash

The Holden to my Ute …

And it got me thinking... The people on AN are some of the wittiest I've ever encountered. Perhaps we can make our own Nurses poem this way!

Shall I start?

You're the black pen to my chart

The stethoscope on my heart ... who wants to continue?

Bloody oath. I had my forehead frown lines posed while reading Just and R.N's amazing post, thinking to myself 'Gee whizz, this person is on their mark! What am I doing with my life?!?'

Then the next post is from a person on AN who I quite admire with the most simple and funny poem ... The timing was impeccable.

It's all about timing.

This is a great thread.

Cheers chick. Im trying to think of a word that rhymes with Farwyn to write a ditty for you but I'm f***** after my day working in community psych.

Farawyn

You're not the one

to suffer fools

but often to help

with nursing rules

im over rhyming

im off to my bed

Farawyn,

don't let this go to your head

:singing: Sweet dreams!

You're the Foley in my holey.

DING, DING, DING! Folks, we have a winner!!

Thanks WinterLilac, I am shy about posting but couldn't resist this one. Thanks for a great thread.

Farawyn, as usual you have the last word :). Love your post. (And posts in general)

The Epi to my anaphylaxis

The tension to my headache that never relaxes

The accommodations to my IEP meeting

The bandaid to my minuscule bleeding

The itch to my head lice

The pretend injury that always needs ice

You're the miralax for constipation, the haldol for my hallucinations

You're the bed pad for Q2 turns and aloe vera for minor burns.

Where's the electrode for my 12 lead?

Yuck, is that the aroma of GI bleed?!

Oh why must I suffer this verbal abuse from a little old lady so confused!

You're the Foley in my holey.

Sounds like something Prince Charles might have said to Camilla back in the day:sarcastic:

Or vice versa.

You're the Dakin's in my infected sore, the oxy when I cry "No more!"

You're the clouds over my grass, the smoke over my fire, the NG tube that won't come off its wire.

"Get it wet before you put it in." Nurse's banter on Keos for the win!
