MALE NURSES

I've known a few men
Who are now nurses
They have some gender problems
Because they aren't blessed with woman's curses

Most of them I know
Want to be pseudo doctors
They have a difficult time letting affection show
They work like medical proctors

Trying to manage the affairs of women nurses
When they can't manage their own
A lot of female nurses I know
Wish they would just go home

I'm sexist in many ways
I don't want a man to give me a bedpan
I don't want one to see me sick and naked
I don't want one to hold my hand

Give me a female
With soft flesh and a motherly smile
Give me a woman nurse
And I could be sick awhile.
