I've decided to repost what is written below as an homage to my dear friend @LizzyM She has been an incredible resource to this forum and just an all around incredible human being. From my undergraduate, through my medical school and residency and now fellowship... LizzyM is always watching 😉
Merry Christmas to those celebrating... and happy holidays!
-----
Twas the night before Christmas, and snug by herself,
LIzzyM was freaked out by the Elf on the Shelf.
He reports to the Dean, oh yes, he does dare.
She hated to see his blank, dead eyed stare.
His eyes how they followed her! And watched every move!
With him in the room she had just lost her groove.
Her posts were less crisp, her wit lost its edge.
She wanted to throw that damn Elf off his ledge.
When out in the hall there arose such a clatter
She sprang from her desk to see what was the matter.
Away to the door she flew like a flash
As a StudentDoctor fan arrived with a crash.
He had a bland face, and a slim, long-limbed body
That trembled and shook for he'd had too much coffee.
He was dressed all in black from his shoulder to sock
With a tasteful striped tie, he was ready to rock.
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,
He grabbed that old Elf, and turned with a jerk.
For just at that moment, came a knock at the door
And scared LizzyM nearly fell to the floor.
The surprising new visitor had specs on his nose
And a crumpled white coat that covered his clothes
The Dean! He is here! What will we do!
The Elf looked out, hopeful, neath the Student's black shoe.
The Dean grabbed the Elf, chucked him out to a ditch
He chuckled and said, "I was sick of that snitch."
Relieved, LizzyM sighed and sunk back in her chair
Finally that damn elf was out of her hair
The Student brushd off his coat, and straightened his tie
He shook Lizzy's hand and said his Goodbye
He was thankful to her for all her advice
And he leapt to his car, parked out on the ice
Now, MCAT! Now, O-Chem! Now, AMCAS and Gradepoint!
On, Pritzker! On, Feinberg! On, Mayo and Creighton!
With an interview schedule that was second to none
He had been on the road since October One.
But she heard him exclaim, as he flew out of sight,
Happy Christmas to All, And to All A Good-Night!
