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
