At the Doctors

I was at the doctors
when I made him laugh...
I said  " Doctor, I need a Heart O'Graph,
With that said...
He let out a raucous roar...
He belly laughed,
snot flew out of his nose
and landed on the floor.
I couldn't miss it,
it landed right in front of me
but the Doctor was laughing so hard,
he just didn't see.

The Doctor said...
We'll need the ECG machine,
then he stood up and stepped
where the snot had landed,
which he hadn't seen.
For some strange reason
he seemed to stay on that spot
for a minute or two,
with his spick and span shoes 
on top of his snotty goo.

He continued walking across the floor
and where he had stepped,
instead of one snotty spot,
there were four !
He was only gone for a very short time,
I sat patiently amongst his slime.
When he returned with the ECG machine,
he said....
" Oh look, We must have snails again,
you can see where they have been ! "

Isn't she just awesome LM ... it was Jenny who introduced me to the site ... it took me a month of her badgering me to join as I didnt think anyone would be i terested in my ramblings ...she gave me such a lift in her belief of me and that I should have confidence in myself as she could see something in my poems that I couldnt. I hope one day to meet her so I can give her a huge hug:-):-) xx
