How Are We Today ... The Doctor Said

________________________________________________________________________________________________

"How are we today?"
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."
