The Cataract Operation
The Cataract Operation
By Elton Camp
Old age caught up with me and vision became unclear
Thanks to modern medicine, blindness I needn’t fear
Out comes the clouded old lens and in went the new
It required only minutes and the operation was through
When the eye patch came off, it was then that I smiled
I could see again as clear as when I was a little child
Now my biggest problem is that it is so hard to hear
If only there was a surgeon who could put in a new ear
