A Bedded Down Quack

A doctor once came to the country Where no doctor happened to be. He set himself up a practice To earn himself some money. The doctor had a crazy notion That he had stored up in his head. He thought that if he could manage it He'd work right from his bed. The people thought it loony When they came to see the Doc. The uncouth practice of the man Became the country constant talk. The care was lousy given No money would they pay. They couldn't stand the quack So they sent him on his way.
