A nurse, a nurse!

A nurse! A nurse!
A nurse! A nurse!
Could you, would you,
Find a nurse?

Is there a nurse
Here, or there?
Is there a nurse anywhere?
There is not a nurse
Here, or there,
There is not a nurse, anywhere!

Could you find one in a box?
Could you find one with a fox?
Could you find one in a house?
Could you find one in a blouse?

We did not find one in a box,
Or with a fox,
Or in a house,
Or with a blouse!

Is there a nurse in the rain?
Is there a nurse on a train?
There is no nurse in the rain,
Or on a train,
Oh, what a drain!

Sigh, sigh, moan, moan . . .
Say, you say, don't groan . . .
Is that the ringing of the phone?
If we want a nurse, they say
We must make a clone?
And wait for it to be grown!

A nurse! A nurse!
A nurse! A nurse!
Could you find one in a purse?
Could you find one in a store?
Could you find one knocking at the door?
Did you, Did you
Find any more?

We did, we did!
I do not kid,
A nurse we scored,
SHV was floored!

Who is that in the ambulance?
Needing equipment in advance?
A vent must be lent!
Have the trachs all been sent?
Is it a baby on a vent?

Baby on a vent? Vent on a baby?
Another delay will make us crazy!
A baby on a vent?
A Leigh on a vent!
When is the big event?

Tuesday, Tuesday,
Is what they say.
It is the big day, they say,
When our baby comes home to stay.

Big brother says "rowr!"

This is the best work you've done, DKV, since "the Hunted House"; and I say that as an English professor of creative writing.
