Ode to a vet nurse
You are a very special nurse
You’ve saved a life or two
Not limited to those with fur
You’ve saved the scaled ones too
You cherish all the old and young
The 4 leg’d and the 2
The feathered ones, the flightless ones
The ones that bite and chew
The humans in your loving care
Are also pretty stoked
To have you help in finding things
Before the ‘bear’ gets poked
The job you do is pretty rough
Your tasks are very varied
But you always go so far beyond
Helping those red-bellied!
The nature of your loving heart
Shines through without exception
When old ones pass and tears are shed
You comfort with affection
Fur friends come in with stinky skin
From nasty Staph infections
You don’t turn up your nose and choke
You wash them to purr-fection
The things you do to help us all
They never go unnoticed
But if you’re feeling undervalued
Please know we are devoted
To the life and laughter that you bring
Each day we work together
To the ways you help each tiny thing
And make the sick ones better.
