Who Knew not fit for contest

When I woke up this morning, I was feeling mighty fine
But, things started getting fuzzy, at a quarter after nine
So, I sat down in my chair and hoped to end this blight
And though it therapeutic to take this time to write

But I needed inspiration, and the place that I've found best
Was to look down the list of all the poetry contest
Right away I found the one and I knew I had it beat
But as I neared the ending, I found it harder to complete

It was then I called My doctor and told him of my plight
He said that I should see him, and it better be tonight
I shared with him my symptoms and showed him what I wrote
He then produced some paper and prescribed this with a note 

" Forget the M.R.I , X-rays, and those CAT scans,
  What this patient needs is a rhyming Lipogram"

Who Knew?

You didn’t need Doctor Pain or Doctor Love with those symptoms, but the doc that put his stethoscope to your heart and hears rhymes ;)
