Dr Goo Goo

Dr. Goo Goo lives in the clouds with God Follow his instructions to the T when sick Take two aspirin and call him in the morning Right now is good. Never is even better Fevers come with a cough and a quack Not all doctors are created equal Some live under rocks or bridges Deliver babies when not playing golf Goo Goo wears a mask at Sunday services Performs surgery on high wires at circuses Sports the letter G on white pajamas As a reminder; Who is God and who is not Surgery on tightropes, scalpel between the teeth Comes easy with his degrees of certain certainty With expertise he keeps patients in stitches But do not laugh when asphyxiated When the doctor falls do not applaud Audiences should stay in their seats For no particular reason Safety nets and parachutes get lost Dr. Goo Goo fixes us before we go wrong Before we return back to ash and dust From that stuff, primordial goo called humans Who come with medical and dental plans included
