Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Couplet

Wisdom Marks

My dermatologist has me visit him a couple of times a year,

To look me over good to ensure that my hide is clean and clear!

Alas, due to my four score years, 'liver spots' grow upon my paws,

But he kindly 'freezes' them off to rid me of those unsightly flaws!

Doctor Twede's his name and he's one of the most gracious guys I know,

Since he calls them 'wisdom marks' and that sure does ease the blow!
