Not a creature was stirring, not even the Krampus
The nurses all studied to pass the NCLEX
Reading textbooks and flashcards right up to their necks
Then Santa and Rudolph dropped down from above
Saying “What is this college of caring and love?”
But then that’s when Santa tumbled on the ice
He made such a clatter he even woke mice
All the students rushed out to see what went down
“There will be no Christmas, I can’t get around!”
The students, they looked from one to another
“Don’t worry there, Santa, no reason to blubber.”
Using caring and healing to help Santa out
The rad techs glowed with radiation and cheer
While the surg techs were helping repair the reindeer
The PTAs showed Santa how he could stretch
And whenever he grumbled said “Don’t you kvetch.”
Respiratory therapists helped him to breathe
While sonographers quickly examined his knees
The nurses helped him to stay jolly throughout
They showed him that there was no reason to pout
With all said and done, Santa found himself healed
He said, “Where have I landed, this place is unreal!”
They glanced at their college and shouted with glee
“Santa, you silly, you’re at NMC!”
Then they heard him exclaim as he took to the air
“You truly are teaching the meaning of care!”
Merry Christmas from
Nebraska Methodist College!
