An Early Lesson
Pediatricians smartened up
From when my kids were small,
'Cause now they're not the reason
Why their patients start to bawl.
They still do the examining,
Connecting all the dots,
But leave it to the nurses
To administer the shots.
It works with babes and toddlers
But as kids wise up with age,
They'll figure out the doc should be
The target of their rage.
A lesson to be learned, perhaps,
For bosses have the perk
Of letting all the underlings
Perform their dirty work!
