"How are we today?"
said the Doctor
To a man in a paper smock.
said the Doctor
To a man in a paper smock.
"That's the wrong question, Doctor,
You should be asking
Who are we today..."
"I know who I am"
said the doctor.
"Who are YOU today?"
"That depends..."
"On what?"
"On what you have to say
to me after this
paper smock probing."
"What if I say
You ARE NOT well?"
"I will not believe you."
"If I say you ARE well?"
"Then I will wear
my doubts on my sleeve."
"And if you get a spaghetti satin
on that sleeve?"
"It will add color
to my confusion."
"What if I say nothing
and do nothing."
"Then I will treat you
to Starbucks."
"Then I have nothing to say
other than I want a Frappucino."
