It's My Duty To Tell You

The Doc strode in, looking quite grim
   'The results of your physical just came in
It's my duty to tell you this straight to your face.'

Suppressing a sigh, he opened a briefcase
   'Sir,' he smiled. 'All the test results show
      ~ Your heart's in the right place!'

Thank you, my friend... And I'd say, it's time for a new osteopath: Your heart is DEFINITELY in the right place!! Smiles, gw
