Twas Ever Thus

When l am well l josh the doc,
and say his pills are made of
chalk, which never cured a human
ache; that all his science is fake.
roast him bitterly because he is
too handy with his saws, and
seems so anxious to remove ones
backbone from its old-time
groove. But when my organs all
go wrong, and I'm no longer hale
and strong, but doubled up with
grievous pains, clear from my fet-
locks to my brains, the doctor is
my only hope; I clamor for his
pills and dope And if he brings
his saw and spade, and says he
thinks he'll have to wade all
through my system with the
same, say, go on, and hew
my frame!" And when I'm
living on my bed, with poul-
tees upon my head, 1 murmur
softly to the nurse, "The good old
doc no more I'll curse! His
science kept me from the grave,
and after this I will behave"
But when I'm on my feet once
more, l hang around the corner
store, and say the doctor is fake
who couldn't snoo away an ache.
Thus, wien our cares have taken
wings, we boot and jeer at solemn
things. WALT MASON.
