Marvelous Medicos!

The psychiatrist meddles with the head.

Nutritionists keep us decently fed.

Nurses are very clever,

As are surgeons, however,

The proctologist's probe is met with dread!

Can't imagine what that proctology probe is like, Bob! Funny poem! Many of the Soup's best humor writers provided a lot of laughs. There were many great entries and it was hard ranking them as each one gave me a laugh. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

Bob, This poem could be catorgrized as a Psychiatrist poem. This is really cute. I am on my new computer. I'd cross my fingers but it is hard to type that way and my fingers don't need any complications. Hope you score on this one. God Bless, Cile
