My Doctor's Appointment
I canceled my doctor’s appointment
The second time, due to the snow.
It’s to check on my eyes
But to no one’s surprise,
The predictions say I shouldn’t go.
It’s not an emergency visit,
But now I will be overdue.
I wanted things checked
But the blizzard’s effect
Is to underscore what is taboo,
Which is venture outside when the weather
May have whiteout conditions or worse.
I could trip on the ice
So I’ll follow advice
And stay home since the forecast’s adverse.
Maybe third time’s the charm will prove worthy
And on my next appointment, I’ll show.
Until then I’ll give in;
Mother Nature will win
And from home I’ll watch blizzard winds blow.
