Doris

Doris my baby girl
Tubes and devices
Medicial technology
No matter the modernist

The pain and suffering
Doesn't quit still a part
When one has to have
Help for the damaged part

But you had a sense of 
Humor, said they had 
Used WD-40 and duct
Tape to hold you together

May the great physican
Be with you tonight
Greet you with the morning light
Bring you home where's your heart
