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.”

This is a fantastic poem mate! I genuinely hope you win this competition
What a great poem and you need to record this one. Great job.
I think the modern day meaning of "Bastille Day" is completely lost as it's celebrated across the globe with gaiety, not Gaul. :)
Their side tried it once & failed. And so now they resort to rumors, lies, innuendoes & conspiracy "theories" (they don't even actually rise to the level of hypotheses).
