Twenty-Six

Twenty-six doctors At my door (I gotta get rid of this darn door!!!!) With twenty-six diagnosis, And then, twenty-six more... Twenty-six pills For twenty-six ills, My voice startin' to change, I sound like Beverly Sills! Think I'm more likely To survive twenty six diseases, Than twenty six prescriptions, Bringing twenty-six sneezes... Twenty six Dr. visits, Each month alone, Twenty six Doctors, Twenty-six receptionists, On twenty-six a phone... Twenty-six things He tells me, Which I forget In twenty-six seconds, Twenty-six different Medical futures, It seems, beckons Oh, I'm tired of this number thing, How many numbers are there? Must I continue till nobody does care? Well, better yet, let me see, If twenty-six beers, Will be enough for me!
