Good Night, Geese
The patients have gone
The Clinic is closed
The geese take their spots
And nobody knows
When the cars have left
And the sun is long set
The geese, they will gather
But our demands are not met…
Do they see us inside?
Toiling away
In-basket awaits—
Not enough hours in the day
There are orders to sign
Notes to attest
Labs to review
No time for rest
Dinner can wait
But kids want their mother
Again, I am late
The work, it can smother
Time to depart
No time for sorrow
Good night, geese
Save my spot for tomorrow!
