Back To the Eye Foundation Hospital
Back to the Eye Foundation Hospital
By Elton Camp
It’s great to be able to see much better now
The surgeon replaced my old lenses somehow
Now, sagging eyelids, like lots of ugly old men
Are causing me to need to go there today again
Drooping eyelids the visual field overrides
And you can’t see to the top or the sides
The final results are likely to look okay
But ugly, black stitches will the work betray
My wife looked like the “Bride of Frankenstein,”
The time to look so scary has come to be mine
But so that little children I won’t have to scare,
I have some black glasses that I plan to wear
