With a Mouth To Speak, I'D Shriek

They say that walls have ears to hear But not a mouth to speak Though it's mostly for the good, I fear For if I did, I'd shriek Permit me to introduce myself I'm a doctor's office wall My length and width are twelve by nine I'm round 'bout eight feet tall My eyes are on the doctors As they step into my room What I see oft-times sicken me While some patients it may doom So many of these doctors just do not wash their hands Yet without a mouth I cannot shout ~ or softly reprimand

Oh, I hope that is not the truth; pandemonium is right around the corner if it is.

Fear?! --Heck, no. We're happy. The stock market's way up today. So we can go back to pooh-poohing the virus. After all, what's more important our lives or our money?! ~ Ha, ha. Please don't answer... Thanks, Kim
