Why Now a Bad Left Ear

Why now a bad left ear?
With it not faint sounds hear,
Unless the makers near,
My interest in high gear…

But why: Once-Good Ear?
The next man knows my fear:
Some foe would at me jeer:
Men I’d failed to buy beer!

Gosh! A Real Bad left Ear,
In my Middle Ear Sear:
Towards Ear Drops now steer,
Aches wielding monstrous spear,

Who might save my left Ear?
Oh! Some nurse should me cheer,
To whom both ears are dear
All picked sounds should be clear,
Or I can’t glad face wear.
