Nuthin’ Says “Happy Holidays!” Like a Code Green

Posted by realityrounds on December 23, 2009

All the health care worker elves are so busy at the station,

Cuz from December to Jan-u-ary, you can’t take no vacation.

So we work and we work, and keep the bitchin’ to ourselves,

Cuz’ holidays don’t exist for the health care worker elves.

**********

In the rooms we intervene and we assess and we admit

and at the station the angry elf , he don’t care, don’t give a shit.

He is so very mad, he is so very entitled.

He want what he want, and he don’t care bout what is vital.

**********

Us health care workers elves, we stay calm, we say “don’t be mean.”

But the angry elf just escalates, we must call a mean “Code Green!”

**********

“Code Green!  Code Green”!  A color we do not want to hear.

A color festive for the holidays

But in the big house brings only fear.

**********

And Santa’s security helpers ,they all come a runnin’

They tell the mean ole’ elf to take  his story walkin’.

**********

So the health care worker elves

Watch the activity in silent night

We shake our heads in saddness

We know there is no light.

**********

Will mean ole’ elf who threatened us

Get the help he does not want?

Will next Christmas bring him

The souls he still does haunt?

**********

Us health care elves will think the best

Of peace for all, not one.

God bless us health care elves,

God bless us everyone.

*Code Green:  A violent person.
