Tke Medical Student (With apologies to Rudyard Kipling) When the medical student goes off to school, He acts like a babe and drinks like a fool, And then wonders why he does ' nt like the school. Ere he ' s fit to be called a student. Now all you fellows who come here to stay. Just shut up your mouths and hark to my lay And I ' ll sing to you of a student as far as I may; A student that ' s fit for a student. When first you are quizzed and you ' re wishful to duck. Don ' t look or take heed of the man that is stuck — Just put up a bluff and trust to your luck, And make a good guess hke a student. When half of your answers fly wide of the mark. Don ' t think the Professor is always a shark, He ' s human, as you are— and oft in the dark. And he knows you are only a student. When, with an expression of just rushed for time. The Professor starts quizzing right down your line, Just take it easy, and take your time, For a quiz never startles the student (?) But the worst of your fears are exams, on ahead. You must study damn hard for all that is said, And if unprepared, they ' ll knock you out dead, And you ' ll flunk like a fool of a student. If some have flunked and the rest look white. Remember its cowardly to quit without fight; So get out your cribs, lie low and sit tight, And, at least, pretend you ' re a student. And if in exams, your head ' s full of pains. Till you scarcely know just what it contains, Just light up your pipe and handle your brains, And sit and look like a student. L. P. J., ' 08. 28
