How to Catch a Snake
If you spot a snake slithering near,
Stay calm and quiet; don’t show fear.
Look for a stick, long and straight,
To gently nudge; don’t hesitate.
It’s awake and alert, so give it space,
Watch how it moves; study its grace.
Use a box, wide and deep,
To catch the snake as it slithers and sweeps.
Approach with care; make no sound,
Slide the box gently down to the ground.
When it slithers in, be quick and slick,
Cover it softly with a smooth little flick.
Now take it away to a safe place,
Where it can wander, stretch, and race.
Remember, dear friend, with snakes it’s true,
Respect their wildness; they’re part of nature too!

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”

What an instructional poem. I remember doing all that you wrote when I got a stick and led it to the edge and pushed it in the river. Thought the snake was a stick at first.
