Doctor Doctor

Now feeling under the weather,
Don't you hate these winter chills?
I'm off to see Doctor Doctor,
To get the latest, greatest pills.

I wait for an hour or more,
Then I'm shown to a vacant room.
I hear screams and now I'm left,
With the sense of impending doom.

Another half hour I sit,
When at last, he comes busting in.
He has blood all over his smock,
And wearing a menacing grin.

After checking my height and weight,
A test dummy is what I am.
Why are you sliding on that glove?
I don't need a rectal exam!

So I jumped right off the table,
And flew like a jet out the door.
A close call as I drove away,
But I don't feel sick anymore.

Thanks Paula, it's a little ironic, but I just got back from a doctor's appointment. No blood or glove thank goodness. I appreciate the feedback and I'll get busy on the next one. Be healthy.
