Quick Cuts 1 ,2, 3,

Physicians
magicians 
who work wonders with a pill.
They diagnose,
prescribe the dose,
and then you get the bill.

Attorneys
journey
to the law books for a clue.
to file a brief
or sue for grief,
but it's legalese to you.

Mechanics
don't panic
when the car chugs in the bay.
They take their time
to wipe the grime.
" It won't be done today."

Wonderful observations, Gerard! I once visited a doctor who took no tests, not even my temperature, before rendering a false diagnosis. Days later I was in the hospital where I spent a week battling a severe kidney infection. I have little use for most doctors and lawyers. Mechanics do seem to take their time, but usually my experience is they succeed in repairing the flaws. Thank you for sharing your "Quick Cuts" with us! Love, Carolyn
