I was talking to a colleague

Pardon the funny formatting, I'm not quite sure how to fix it yet. Maybe it will work this time. ::crosses fingers::

I was talking to a colleague

            -well, I guess you could call him that

            -but to be a colleague one is normally in the same field

            -and I suppose we are, we both deal with the same children

            -but for different reasons

            -anyways

I was talking to him and he said I was lucky

To be the nurse

Because everyone likes me

I laughed

            -he was startled

            -I don't suppose anyone's laughed at him in a while

            -at least not in front of him

            -anyways

I said he was the lucky one

He was the professor

He got to see them everyday

He got to ask them questions

And watch them squirm when they didn't know the answer

He sneered at me

            -he looked amused

            -he remembered the pleasure of it

            -I know he likes it

            -anyways

He told me that he'd rather have my job

That it was better than his

And I laughed again

And told him he was confused

That it was hard to cure the children

And not ask questions

When they come to me problems

            -like backwards feet

            -or enlarged noses

            -or in a different body

            -or poisoned

            -anyways

He smiled with his cold smile

And said that he'd trade anytime

If I would learn potions

Be kind, please review. We don't have hit counts anymore…I need to know somebody's reading my story. Thanks J
