The Doctor's Favorite Dessert

The Doctor’s Favorite Dessert

By Elton Camp

Dr. Dough a new dessert perused
“This is one not to be refused!”

“For it fulfills my fondest dream.
Bacon mixed with ice cream.”

“This concoction is the very best.
Money from patients to wrest.”

“It’s rife with saturated fat.
For me, how great is that!”

“With bad cholesterol it’s filled.
Artery clogs my wallet thrilled.”

“The addition of a serving of bacon.
A health choice that’s much mistaken.”

“It helps the “sometimes” treat
Patients more regularly to eat.”

“With more calories than needed all day,
The results will greatly enhance my pay.”

“Of “empty calories” it’s composed.
For me, nothing is better than those.”

“For my patients, it’s to recommend.
So I will have more money to spend.”

“It will be to my financial delight
If they eat it morning, noon & night.”
