Doc Frost
Your friend cannot be saved,
He told him his voice half raised.
But I thought that you said that he could,
Though not for the greater good?
I did and I didn’t who cares I’ve forgotten,
In any case he’ll soon be cold, dead and rotten.
So speak to him now if you’ve something to say,
But forgive me I’m having a frantic day.
Indeed I must leave at the fastest of paces,
Naturally ignoring these grieving faces.
Push through these fools to get to my lunch,
They truly are a sorry bunch,
Mmm tuna but lacking sweet-corn it seems,
That stupid woman is killing my dreams.
What does this roll represent?
A life full of anguish with nowhere to vent?
A marriage without the required cement?
A life choice without a portion of sense?
I never wanted to be a doctor anyway…
