The Doctor Sobbed

The Doctor Sobbed…..By Peter Onyancha

My doctor read
This letter to the letter
Shocked, Sobbed

Dear Doctor, I did –   

No ham, doc, No harm

I stuck to the steak too long
Now I go to the prairie
To pick an apple
And stick to it

I have let life to thrive
I have beef with beef
I chicken from chicken
No fun with pork
I poke fun with lamb
Just like that.

No ham, doc, No harm!
I’m done!!
