Notes About The Poem

Sometimes it's real and that's serious but sometimes it's imaginary and that can be serious too.

Doctor, Doctor

Doctor, Doctor,
Look at me!
I'm dizzy, weak and I can't see!

I've got this pain,
It hurts real bad.
In places I didn't know I had.

There must be tests.
There must be pills.
These signs are real, I must be ill.

Doctor, Doctor,
There must be,
Something you can do for me.

Pills or tonic,
A magic potion.
Surely you must have some notion.

What to do,
To ease my pain.
Just to make me whole again.

You're a doctor,
You can see,
Something's really wrong with me.

Give me pills,
And give me meds,
And send me off to sleep in bed.

Thank you so much Tom. I wrote this to show how doctors are often expected to know everything and be able to pull rabbits out of hats. God Bless, JB

Hi Judy, I could relate; I agree whether real or imagined, they are both serious. I enjoyed the humorous touch to a not so “ funny” situation. Have a great day:-) Alexis
