NURSING IN THE IDEAL She stroked his levered brow. She smoothed his tumbled bed. She gave him cooling drinks, And bathed his manly head. She fanned his burning forehead Mid whispers low and sweet. She was a dainty picture In her uniform so neat. He seized upon his nurse In rapture, joy and love. She surely was an angel Sent down from Heaven above. Her touch was soft and gentle. Her hand so cool and white; It was a bliss to be there And keep her in his sight. Of course he soon recovered With such tender love and care. He couldn ' t live without her So one were made this pair. And now they are so happy In their blessed little tent He thanks his stars each day For that lucky accident. NURSING IN THE REAL She soaked his dirty feet. She scrubbed his filthy head. She gave him a dose of quinine And straightened up his bed. She let the wind blow through his whiskers. While she aired the room out too. For she was a practical creature In her uniform of blue. He glared upon the nurse He cursed her and he swore. For she was cross enough to scare The sweat from every pore. She had no time to bother There were others who would pay omer. And wildly through that bed That poor old patient tore. Of course you know he died, From what the doctors couldn ' t tell; For she was a torturing devil. And hospital life was—well! And now you find him coasting In that region underground. And he thanks his stars each morning That no nurse can there be found. Page 40
