As An Agency Nurse

I am not much different
Than a mercenary
When I work agency.

Little more than a hired hand,
A hired gun, indifferent to
All else which goes into a real job.

I'm just in it for the money.
Going wherever the job is
And taking whatever the assignment is.

It's all good.
A job is a job is a job.
Just pay me and it will be done.

I'm not quite as bad as a pirate,
After all I'm still a nurse, just
Not much better than a common mercenary.

When the shift is done, I go
Back home and hang it up, until
I line up another job or get called up again.
