Best Doctor Poems

our beloved brother from India
Dr. Ram’s words are better than gold

board his magic carpet
woven with wit, intellect and insight

soar through sagas steeped in mythology
captivating revelations on cultural tradition
unique perspectives on historical events

clever concepts conveyed with humor
psychology, philosophy, behavior observations
materialize as “Mehtaisms”

stirring the soup
adding spice to...

My mother thinks I'm a doctor
I just don't have the guts
To tell her I spent all my college doe
On beer, wine, women and such

So after I faked my graduation
Said I was moving to the South
To help the less fortunate among us
Another lie I let slip...

An apple every day, he said to me.
Berries too, for your recovery.

Can I have just one small slice of pie?

Doctor nearly glared into my eye!
Even nuts and cheese you must not eat.

For Heaven's Sake, Doctor,  I need a treat!

Good food should not be processed, white...

In the office, he smiles so charmingly.
Saying and doing all the right things,
he puts all his female patients completely at ease.
Even the women hard to please return to him,
for he is famous for his bedside manner.

He surrounds himself with a staff of beautiful nurses
who rush...

A poet cannot always be understood,
but those that can reach us are better than good.
There’s one at the Soup for both young and old.

is very unique, and that’s why I say
when...

boundless wisdom unfolds

An apple a day, so they say,
But some folk get carried away.
   Consumer advice:
   Don’t be imprecise—
Eat ten, and the doctor you’ll pay.

“Doctor I have chronic diarrhoea
And I think it’s hereditary”
“Nonsense man I can assure you
Diarrhoea is not hereditary,
And no matter how chronic it is
It’s not as bad as it seems”
“But doctor I know it’s hereditary
Because it’s in my jeans”...

So, how long have you been waiting? No, it doesn't really matter!
I just came in the game to quiet the chit chatter.
And now that I am here, where should I start?
First, I'll examine your head, and then I'll examine your heart.
Did you really think that...

A physician can possibly maim.
Being ill-informed, one that I blame
Cares not for real knowledge
Despite years of college.
“Erroneous” should be his last name.

Face for fading music
Disappearing in the distant
Those that stood still
Were called forth by the mystic
To answer a question
To answer the inquisition
For this was not the path
That they had been thinking

The witch doctor stood fast
His crazy eye twitching
He spoke slow...
"Your path... You will be switching!"
Batting his...

There's nothing we can do, the doctor said!
     It was December, nineteen-seventy.
At once, those words exploded in my head
     and pierced my heart- which broke in agony.

How could this be- she's much too young to die

Oh, don’t abandon us now!
We so love your masked fear.
Tell us, Dr Fauci, my dear.

What shall I do, Holy Cow?
Should I check my cat’s rear?
Is there Omicron in my ale or beer?

I fret over eating meat from a sow!
Shall I go check my skin in...

In a little West Texas cow town years ago
There was an  old doctor by the name of Hill
Little man, mild mannered, cheerful until made mad
He doctored old cowboys and drunks when things got slow
His usual cure was a kick in the butt and a...

Now, I am not a huge man

I'm not large by any means

In fact it is surprising

I still wear normal jeans

My pants don't have elastics

I still use normal towels

But, my BMI stats tell me

I'm a word that has three vowels.

It started just this morning

When I got...
