Poem
A VISIT TO THE DOCTOR I had a bad cold, And my throat was sore, My husband told, Me to go to the Doctor, Before I got flu! I made an appointment and was due, To be seen at two o’clock. I sat down next to a young man, Who had the pock, He was coughing and Spluttering all over me, Can’t you see, Don’t you care, Are you not aware, That you’re spreading your germs, All around this place, He got up with a red face, And sat on a chair at the back Which fell as he sat for he was big, And the chair had a crack! As soon as he left, sat a lady, She told me she had shingles, Just to look at her gave me tingles. I got up very concerned and ready To take my next seat I chose one whose occupant I didn’t suspect, For physically I couldn’t detect, Anything visible, she told me She had swine flu, And my flu vaccine was overdue! I shot up and was ready to leave, But the next patient was a toddler Who seemed very shy, and I Did not register, That he seemed to have lumps His Mom told me Her youngster had mumps, After he had sat on my knee, And had a chew on my car-key! I phoned my husband and told him, That I had been in touch with a toddler, With mumps, I could immediately hear he fell down In the dumps For he had never had mumps, And disliked the thought of getting These lumps, And of course any repercussion thereafter, Would certainly not be a matter, For laughter! As I was about to leave, A little girl arrived with measles, Who repeatedly said Mom I don’t like needles! This was too much I was going home, I opened my bag, and put back my phone. We both thought it was certainly safer, To go home and take a Corenza! So if you get sick, Try and get better on your own, Or try to speak to your Doctor on the phone, For whatever it was I had, If I’d stayed at the Doctor's rooms I’d be sicker, sad And feeling bad!
