Jenny and the Great Ape!
Was only when watching T.V.
Watched the kindness of eye surgery.
Rebuilding a future of vision.
Bright and true.
Cataract removal.
Taken in care.
Helped persons from sub-continent.
Once sight deprived.
Then from the depths of my mind.
A wonderful achievement.
From my memory.
Surgeon of human form.
Enhanced the eyes.
Of apes and men.
Not mice and men.
That would be far too much of a crazy feat
However:
The visual improvement of gorillas eyes.
Cataracts removed.
Lenses replaced.
One magical gift.
The ability to fix.

This is a true story converted into a poem. A surgeon colleague of mine performed eye surgery on a gorilla to enable it live independently! Amazing....for confidentiality I am unable to give name of the surgeon. Such a gift!
