Droperidol, it cures it all,
when you are HIGH
it makes you small,
if you are worried, or talk too much
Droperidol comes after lunch,
it let's us move you,
from chair to chair,
and keeps you out of nursings hair,
it soothes and smoothes and is well used
it calms desire and quenches fire,
it cools your brain and eases pain
it gives us rest, when you're a pest,
Droperidol will set you free,
but best of all?
it let's us sit and watch T.V.

Nice one, written from the heart, by the sound of things.You might want to consider: "it cures all", lose an it."if you are stressed" rather than worried, helps rhythmically, I think.
nurses' hair?
I'm out of faith and in my cups
I contemplate such bitter stuff.

And there's me thinking that drugs are there for the patient's benefit..
Just kidding. You've confirmed something that I've always suspected. Zombies are easier to police.

I think Nursings should be Nursing's if by that you mean the department, but Ray's suggestion is better IMHO.

Nice one, WMT

I enjoyed this and think your title is well chosen. The closing line made me smile.
The subject is handled well and seems authoritative which makes the poem more interesting for me,
as it's a subject I know little of, but I gained some insight here.

Thanx

You write about your work place well, wildmountainthyme. I feel a bit sadness in your easy and smooth words.

Best,
