Seventeen Stitches

Just got back,
And a sight to see,
The hospital doc,
Had his fun with me...
Seventeen stitches
were applied,
Of course it's true,
I've never lied...

The unfortunate thing,
It was on my face,
Not that it wasn't already...
A terrible disgrace...
I guess those docs wished
to put me in my place...

Might as well head
back home down south..
Because they did their sewing
on my mouth!!!
