The Pair' a Docs
these well schooled
and vastly trained minds
do confuse me so, somehow...
with their duel diagnoses,
I finally had to vow
to take their conclusions,
with several grains of salt
some seem so ludicrous
not worth to put in my mind's vault
one said I'd be dead soon,
one said that I would last,
he gave me five-to ten years
to him, so simply my life was cast
I could not but help to smile,
these nerdy brains of high grade steel...
so casual and flippant their style
did they think how I might feel?
so I asked for a lolly-pop
a staple for children
in my younger day
not that I wanted to lick it
well, this is hard to say....
I had plans for where to stick it,
so it'd never see the light of day.
