Best Doctoring Poems

My mother thinks I'm a doctor
I just don't have the guts
To tell her I spent all my college doe
On beer, wine, women and such

So after I faked my graduation
Said I was moving to the South
To help the less fortunate among us
Another lie I let slip...

Happiness reigns but not when it rains
Strange language, this english, it's hard to explain
A doctor can save your life
Doctoring the truth leads to strife
So if you don't know english, it's a strain on the brain...

Size of a sauce bottle to a tent her tiny form
Oh thy bathed her in olive oil, good for...

Now back to the question of being a cowboy. I think I’ll try another way.  I’ll 
compare the job I do to his. Doesn’t that sound like a laugh? I cook for the family, 
hired hands, branding and shipping and various cattle work too....

Morning has come
To this hamlet in the hills,
They have an internationally funded hospital
(Net of ‘inflation’ artistry in contractors’ bills).

Lady Macbeth, rinse your hands,
You will nurse in the hospital now.
The Companies have this experimental drug
For schizophrenics.
They want guinea pigs--
So go out on a marketing campaign,
Harvest schizophrenics.
Its...

Der Himmel
"The Heavens"
by Ber Horvitz

These skies
are leaden, heavy, gray...
I long for a pair
of deep blue eyes. 

The birds have fled
far overseas; 
tomorrow I'll migrate too,

in a state of chill
i am lost in a world long lost
revisiting here for a few days is like my heart skipping rocks in a hot tub
my mind is in a sauna of contentment
my soul is on a wraparound deck overlooking lake whatchamacallit
chocolate covered paradise

The day had dawned with the sunrays pouring through my window,
I saw myself scratching my head,
Since the number of gripping ideas in my brain amounted to zero.

I had been asked to compose something-- which will leave readers deeply moved,
How could I explain that my thinking...

Arrigo
Arrigo of the rusty knife ,
Got bad headaches , saw things, strife,
Asked a mystic man could he ,
Tell Arrigo what was to be,
Arrigo just asked why?

Dr Fritz spirit would occupy,
Do some doctoring, bye n bye,
Arrigo in trance would be,
Dr. Fritz would set cancer free,
And you...

Lush and moist are those Shoodbe-Wouldbees.
Sticky with choice is the Tobe-Gottabees.
Mix them together just so and what do you have.
A Shoodbe-Wouldbe-Tobe-Gottabee's quick healing salve.

Tobe used in extreme cases of sour quotations.
Doctoring them smartly of major vocal  palpitations.
Butbe very careful when...

Dancing was my favorite pastime.    
On the dancing floor
I would clog, and I would shimmy 
till my feet were sore.

But one day my dancing ended.  
I've myself to blame.
Here's the story of my failure 
and my deepest shame.

Through a park I...

Toxic State - Survival

My brain strains to know a challenge-
A mystery to solve, a frontier to cross, 
An equation to untangle...ANY ambition to 
Know any purpose of any being..
But my aged body cannot follow... its demands
For food and rest and doctoring are a brain's fulltime
occupation...no...
