Lawyer:
Doctor, doctor, tell me why,
Your handwriting makes people cry!
Letters dance, they twist, they twirl,
Like scribbles from a dizzy squirrel!
Doctor:
Oh dear lawyer, don’t be mad,
I write so fast—it’s not that bad!
Patients rush, the clock won’t wait,
Who has time to make it straight?
Lawyer:
But doctor, pause and hear me out,
Your notes cause panic, fear, and doubt!
A cough syrup turns into glue,
It's All because of “Doctor. Who?”
Doctor:
No No Not my fault, I must insist,
Pharmacists read—nothing is missed!
They know the trick, they crack the code,
They read my mess like a secret mode!
Lawyer:
But Patients demands,write bold and neat!
But your pen still runs at lightning speed!
Two letters show, the rest are ghosts,
Leaving all of them to guess the most!
Doctor:
Alright, alright, I’ll make it clear,
I’ll write like you, O my dear!
But if I take time in writing the pill,
My fee will rise just like your bill!
