'Twas the Night before Residency

'Twas the night before residency and all through the town,
ex-med students were reviewing notes and writing stuff down.

Not one could be still, neither young or old,
unless a glass of wine or whiskey had been poured.

"First day as doctors," were the thoughts in their heads,
"There wouldn't be this moment if we'd flipped burgers instead."

The idea however, buried deep down below,
was despite lack of experience, they were healers at the core.

They hadn't placed too many lines or ran the ICU at night,
but their spirit brought them here and friends knew it was right.

So through sleepiness and grumbles, my hope for everyone,
is that we stay true to ourselves and have a shit-ton of fun!
