A noble profession
the hours are sometimes terrible
the lack of help is worse
they smile and do their duties
to which we’d be averse
they’re treated so abusively
by some who scream and curse
and yell at them accusingly
of trying to steal their purse
so now’s the time to give a smile
and bring along this verse
they always go the extra mile
they’re the ones that we call Nurse.

Lee Dunn has been writing since the age of 18, but found that work got in the way for the ensuing 48 years. In his home town of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he reveled in his independence at an early age, and spent as much time as he could exploring the city’s Arts scene. He was introduced to poetry and prose by the works of two literary giants, namely J.R.R. Tolkien and J.W. Lennon and thence fell in love with the written word. His work includes poetry, short fiction, and personal essays, and ranges in theme from the surreal to the horrific, nostalgic, and themes on the human condition. He has been published on Spillwords.com, The Dark Poets Club, Journal of Undiscovered Poets, Crepe & Penn Literary magazine, and the Shelburne Free Press.
