In my stomach sometimes When I think too much But also in my head When I cry too hard Say "ahh" My teeth rip apart And a wail escapes me As the doc takes a light To check my uvula A tiny tin hammer Knocks my knee once Twice Thrice And I kick like I'm Supposed to A flash tickles my ears As the doc inspects for Elephants and The like A cold stethoscope is Pressed against my heart Which shudders and retreats But the doc says nothing I leave the office With a sticky note "All good :)" And $500 fee Of inconvenience I swear something's broken But the x-ray came out clear I need something fixed But the doctor says I'm fine I've been fine All my life Every machine says so So I repeat it as well And when others ask "What's the matter?" All I can say is "Nothing"

Where Does it Hurt?
In my stomach sometimes When I think too much But also in my head When I cry too hard Say "ahh" My teeth rip apart And a wail escapes me As the doc takes a light To check my uvula A tiny tin hammer Knocks my knee once Twice Thrice And I kick like I'm Supposed to A flash tickles my ears As the doc inspects for Elephants and The like A cold stethoscope is Pressed against my heart Which shudders and retreats But the doc says nothing I leave the office With a sticky note "All good :)" And $500 fee Of inconvenience I swear something's broken But the x-ray came out clear I need something fixed But the doctor says I'm fine I've been fine All my life Every machine says so So I repeat it as well And when others ask "What's the matter?" All I can say is "Nothing"
