‘Modern’ Health Care

To celebrate Bad Poetry Day, one of Daddy’s favourite stories!


"I insist!" she told the doctor in her firmest, loudest voice,
‘Fore out the door he sent her (she suspected was his choice).

"I'm not leaving without answers!" Her voice was now a shout.
"Is it measles, mumps or hiccups?! I'm prepared to have this out!"

The doctor sighed and shrugged, "You know there's someone I can try.
We know the what and where and who, well now let's find the 'why'."

So he found a room and parked her, tucked up snugly in her bed,
Tried, some peace, to whisper, and relieve her of her dread.

Then upon her firm insistence. And with no more ado,
He left, but said he'd send someone to give that second view.

All at once, her door swung wide, and a cat stepped in the room.
She stared at him in silence as he circled in the gloom.

Three times around, he strolled, and he did watch her carefully,
Then turned and with a feline grace, meowed to be set free.

A moment more, a dog walked in, with a great big doggie smile,
He sat upon his haunches and he stared at her a while.

The dog he left. She sat a while and finally, back he came--
Her doctor with some more intel. He called her by her name:

"Well, the catscan's perfect, Ma'am," he said, "I couldn't be more calm.
And the Lab work's just as positive, so it's time for moving on!"

So remember when its 'doctor time'. And you ask for more info.
Your doctor looks to many views to make his knowledge grow!

  1. Wonder if that doctor, as he left the room, let out a "quack"

  2. Ha ha! I wish cats and dogs roamed doctor's offices. The experience would be much more pleasant.
