And others that you class as quack;
But the one full OF pep.
And the man with a rep

And won't limp any more,
AS soon as you see--Dr. Jack.

Wants TO stay home from school,
And you think he deserves a good

You will learn when you see
How he's cured by our friend--Dr.

That some folks smile never crack,

It would be good plan
