Analysis of Nurse Tai
NurseTai
My petite Geisha
Who I mistook as Vietnamese
Like my daughter- in -law Ly
She's blue like the drink
A mai tai cocktail in scrubs
She was privy to my glorious moments
Of achieving no 2
Don't laugh but if you are bedbound
It's an achievement
Like winning An Olympicmedal
Thorpe on his podium
Me on my bed pan
All inhibitions shed
They have seen it all before
But the greatest discovery
For me is there no discrimination
No despisement of the task
I put her too
I am glad
We had this moment
