Second opinion

By joyismine

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The doctor said I was too fat; The weight would have to go. I said to him "Dear Doctor, There is something you should know. A second opinion is required to give me peace of mind; So I checked the yellow pages to see what I could find. If my weight will be discussed Experts should be consulted So I gave the matter serious thought And this is what resulted. The second opinion will be done by the most qualified contestant; One who would not betray my trust, The chef from my best restaurant."
