I once had a doctor called Parkin
who was given to humour and larkin’.
When I took of my coat
He made a swift note
Until my old dog started barkin’.
I said,doctor you are very precise
But is taking notes always wise?
I don’t want to forget
The first time we met.
I always felt you were so nice!
But I’m here because I am in pain.
He shouted out,No,not again!
I said,keep your voice down
And I don’t want to harm your old brain.
I tried self hypnosis and calm,
I tried pain pills and unguents and balm.
I had chinese massage,
And was assessed for triage.
At least hypnosis doesn’t harm
