Quack

Ted doesn’t like his past.
He has yet to think fast:
Clear not shadowy past,
Lies warranting a blast…

Plain Butcher for Doctor
Poor Loser as Victor
Roles that rolled on to jail,
Court’s Ruling to not fail…

Flags we’d fly at half mast
For Heroes who did last;
Ted was The Damned Miscast:
World of Drama’s Outcast!

Ted to break with his past,
Witnesses now aghast:
They’d say he was A Quack,
Qualifications did lack
Worse mention The Buried:
Three Happily Married…

“I come Afghanistan! 
First, meet Face Surgeon, Stan."
