She has a skin doctor, a hand doctor
A freckle doctor, a wart doctor.
She has a joint doctor, and a gum doctor.
I asked if she had a witch doctor.
I could not hear a smile through the phone
But she did not pause, so I was disappointed.
She has an ear, eye, face and joint doctor,
A tooth doctor, a foot doctor and a knee doctor.
She told me everything about each of them.
How many visits she had last week,
How much they each cost, what they did wrong.
Worst phone call ever.
