The Doctor

He spends eight years or so in college
Piling up a lot of knowledge
Concerning virus, bug, and germ
That make the human body squirm,
And learning symptoms of diseases
(Like pimples, chills, headaches and sneezes).
Yet he, to earn a juicy fee,
Demands to know what’s wrong with me!

All Out

Said a Doctor to Mrs. Van Snoot, “Your
About to acquire a new suture;
Then we’ll have to go slow,
For I’m sure I don’t know
Just what we’d remove in the future.”
