I had to go and see my Doctor 
For I was feeling rather dõwn
He took one look and said to me
You need to go out on The town.

He asked are you a heavy drinker
And do you drink alot of wine
I said whisky is my tipple
My preference every time.

He asked if I drink it often
I replied every single night
He laughed and said don't worry
That's perfectly alright.

He asked me what's my favourite blend
I said the Scottish highland malt
That's what they recommended 
So the drinkings not my fault.

He asked do you eat much greasy food
Now that's something I can't deny
He suggested cooking frozen chips
They take less time to fry.

I asked Doctor what's your verdict
Is there anything you can do
He replied go out and have some fun
We are humans and our years are few.

So i am glad that I saw my Doctor 
Now I am happy and I'm pleased
So go and see your Doctor 
He will put your mind at ease.

Wonderful poem Christopher!! Your Doctor sounds more sympathetic than mine who scolded me for getting a cotton tip stuck in my ear!! I know I shouldn't have stuck it in there in the first place but that wasn't the point ha ha!! :-)

I like it. Go out, and have fun. It gives confidence; life is a beautiful thing; I can only express it to you and others.

I got a hunch the advices are self-prescribed :)
Wonderful write btw, take care dear friend.

eleanor-prince

Aw... ! It's never a great experience, is it.  Unfortunately they only do a few hours in all their years of training when it comes to nutrition - or so I've been told.  So best to do your own research too :) Hope all goes well.  Fun poem, much enjoyed!

Nice! Doctors are one of the Gods who understands everybody.

I like the cut of your jib, Christopher. All the best!

Great way of coping.  Your imaginary doctor probably took his own advice and he's living in up on the town, lol.  On a serious note, I do hope all goes well for you.  &#127801;

THE  VISIT&#8230;..

Doctor&#8230;. Ah!  Mr Heparin&#8230;&#8230;I&#8217;m Doctor Nye-Statinn.  It's that time of the year when you come to see me for a complete check up. 
Patient&#8230;.. Last time you advised that I join a gym. 
Dr&#8230;..Well, did you go?
P&#8230;&#8230; Just the once.
Dr&#8230;. Why only once? Your body is totally out of shape. You are clinically obese.
P&#8230;.. I took your advice and permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class.
Dr&#8230;..That was a good start. 
P&#8230;&#8230; I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotard on, the class was over!
Dr&#8230;.. Try again and wear a track suit. So.. Tell me why have you brought a television with you?  
P&#8230;&#8230;.Last time I saw you I told you I could not help stealing things. You said take these pills for a week:  if they don't work I'll have a color TV!  So I nicked you one. Can I have second opinion?
Dr&#8230;   Of course, leave the tele and come back tomorrow!  Second thoughts - I&#8217;ll have a lap top. Before you go there's another medical matter. What's your drinking pattern? 
P&#8230;. Doctor, you've just got to help me..  I just can't stop my hands shaking! 
Dr&#8230;. As your Doctor I have to ask - Do you drink a lot? 
P&#8230;&#8230;Not really.  I spill most of it!
Dr&#8230;. You&#8217;ll shorten your life by heavy drinking.
P&#8230;&#8230; Do you think I can live for another fifty years?"
Dr&#8230;.. Do you smoke?
P&#8230;. &#8230;No.
Dr&#8230;&#8230;Do you eat meat?
P&#8230;&#8230;..No - it disagrees with me.
Dr&#8230;&#8230;Do you practise safe sex? Be serious. Last time you said yes, and that you always keep one foot on the floor.
P&#8230;&#8230;..Yes. Still do - but not very often as I&#8217;m in the SAGA generation.
Dr&#8230;&#8230;What does that stand for?
P&#8230;&#8230;. SEX ANNUALLY GENERALLY AUGUSTIME
Dr&#8230;&#8230;Then why do you want to live another fifty years?
Pause:..
P&#8230;&#8230;.. Is there anything wrong with my heart?  
Dr&#8230;&#8230;. No. After a thorough examination I can confidently say it will last as long as you do!
P&#8230;.  But my irregular heartbeat is really frightening me.
Dr&#8230; Don't worry - we'll soon put a stop to it!
P&#8230;.. I can't leave without mentioning my, my insomnia. 
Dr&#8230; I won't give you any pills for that.
P&#8230;&#8230;What do you advise then?
Dr&#8230;..Just sit on the edge of the bed. You'll soon drop off! 
P&#8230;.. Can you give me something for my liver? 
Dr&#8230;.There's a bag of onions in reception - take one a day until  further notice. 
P&#8230;.. Are you going to ask me about the mole I had on my nose that looked like a strawberry?
Dr&#8230;..No. There&#8217;s no further trace of it. As I told you all it needed was  cream. 
P&#8230;.. There&#8217;s something I need to mention - it&#8217;s the singing.
Dr&#8230;. Singing?
P&#8230;. .Yes Doctor&#8230; I can&#8217;t stop singing &#8220;The Green, Green Grass of  Home.&#8221;
Dr&#8230;..That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome. 
P&#8230;&#8230;Is it common?
Dr&#8230;..No. It&#8217;s not unusual. How is your eyesight?
P&#8230;&#8230; I think I'm spending too long on the computer: I'm starting to see spots in front of my eyes".
Dr &#8230;.Have you seen an optician?
P&#8230;&#8230;.No. Just spots.
Dr&#8230;.Too much computer screen gazing can cause a serious and increasing medical condition.
P&#8230;&#8230;What&#8217;s that Doctor?
Dr&#8230;.Googleloris Computus Cyberitis Compulsitans. You can buy eye relief  for it in the chemist.  Just ask for AODs - Amstrad Obliterating Drops.
Knock. Knock.
A Nurse appears..
Dr&#8230;.Mr. Heparin is just going&#8230;.
Dr&#8230;Remember I told you will live to be 65.
P&#8230;. I am 65 now Doctor.
Dr&#8230;.See, what did I tell you. Trust me I&#8217;m a doctor.

This was beautiful in a special sort of way. I felt the connections here. Truly perfect.

ceida-uilyc

True. True and true. I needed to hear it. We often end up thinking a small sneeze might be some sorta world-ending plague. There's always a lean towards death in the back of the head. You said it, just need to see the doc. 
Also, you've got a great doc!

LeaettaMay

how ya doin' ? Got any more poems for me to read?

Good luck at the doctor, this poem is great, I love your writing,

Hahahahaha!
Great write Christopher!
I too have come to the point where blood pressure and blood sugar are of a concern 
Sadly, all the good stuff needs to be moderated!
Enjoy the day!

emily-sarker

the doctors are meant to heal the body mind and soul lol really love this poem it is lighthearted yet holds a good message of advice

john-wiley

I like your attitude Christopher. Moderation in all things they say. My special sin is red wine.
