My Christmas Poem

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the ward, 
all the patients were stirring cuz Steve had his sword.
Susie was screaming from her chair were she was strapped,
and Tony was telling where he thinks he had crapped.
The IV’s were hung from all the beds with great care,
 in the hopes that St Nick would soon appear.

When out in the hall there arose such a clatter,
Phil just fell down while dancing, his teeth they did shatter,
all the while he had thought he was one of the Platters. 
Through the window we saw from the light of the moon,
what appeared to be St nick, was it one of us loons?

A nurse all in red stood in our doorways smiling,
We stopped in our tracks, no more were we bailing
We knew who this was,  and we came out of hiding.

When it was over we thought we all heard
These words as she ran down the big empty hall
On Haldol, on Lithium, Xanax,  and Neurontin,
On Valium, Lexapro, Paxil and Wellbutrin,
dash away, dash away, dash away all.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a drugged night.
