Once I loved such a shattering physician
4472
Quite the best-looking doctor in the state,
4473
He looked after my physical condition
4474
And his bedside manner was great!
4475
When I’d gaze up and see him there above me
4476
Looking less like a doctor than a Turk,
4477
I was tempted to whisper, "Do you love me
4478
Or do you merely love your work?"
4479
He said my bronchial tubes were entrancing
4480
My epiglottis filled him with glee,
4481
He simply loved my larynx
4482
And went wild about my pharynx,
4483
But he never said he loved me.
4484
He said my epidermis was darling
4485
And found my blood as blue as can be
4486
He went through wild ecstatics
4487
About my lymphatics
4488
But he never said he loved me.
4489
And though, no doubt, it was not very smart of me
4490
I get on a-wracking of my soul,
