An Ode to Purple Scrubs

I have worn many scrubs in my life
In which I've had pain, and anger and strife
(Though not all days are a dud)

From my medical school's "jade" green
To residency's blue, with tangerine
(Or maybe that was blood)

But now that I'm a "grown up" doc
Who gets paid to work round the clock

I don the color once meant for royals
As I examine babies and lance some boils

And I remind myself every day:
Nothing rhymes with purple
