The way Geza could burn,- The way gloves wouldn t turn; The way I strove to learn — OR, you can ' t take those away from me. The view from M-19 at night,- Damp-dusting every light,- Bronchoscopy s green sight; OR, you ' ll never leave my memory. 28 I may never, never clean again Chandler ' s chisels and Rongeurs; But I won ' t forget his stately mien In a hundred years, that ' s sure. Mopping Eric Oldberg ' s broW; Strohl ' s mutton tallow NOW; The duckpond s mess, and how! OR, you ' ll always be these things to me.

O land of tea and glucose, And diabetics by the score, Where streams of chocolate milkshakes Shall run forevermore,- Where Chapman fixed her first baked eggs And never lived them down,- Where stately Florence held full sway And Art was Old King Clown,- Remember dummies heaped with trays Never failing to go wrong? Remember eating breakfast late And nibbling all day long r ' We didn ' t give much nursing care But life was really quite a song. 27

' Twos the night bebre Christmas, and all through OB Not a doctor in sight, and no babies-to-be,- When the elevator doors sprang apart with a clatter And I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter. Then to my wondering eyes did appear A mother in labor, and Doc Crawford, the dear! hie called down the hall, She ' s had some before! Which probably means gravida 5, para 4. Call up Miss Dwyer — tell her to run,- But she ' s busy on 9, for they ' re having one. Prepping ' s all finished,- the patient ' s now ready; Contractions are regular, painful and steady. In comes Finola, fresh out of bed,- Here in ten minutes — how he must have sped! We need a scrub nurse — which one is on call? hHere she comes now, turban and all. Six minutes later the baby is born, hie ' s here just in time to greet Christmas morn. A word from Finola as he sprints out of sight — Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
