Looking Wise

Doc Casket has two solemn eyes,
inscrutable are they; Doc Casket
heaves some pregnant sighs when
he has naught to say; he has the
trick of looking wise, and he is rich
today. He has detractors here and
there, and drearily they drool; he
hasn't learned thing, they swear,
since he emerged from school; but
little does Doc Casket care; he
smiles, serene and cool. He has the
trick of looking wise, upon his daily
round; he's silentsrhere less prudent
guys fill all the air with sound; and
if a patient lives or dies the doc
still looks profound. When. l am
we'll view the doc with something
like disdain; his aif of majesty I
mock and say it's all in vain; he
hasn't got the skill to knock the
cheapest sort of pain. But when
I'm sick from heels to head, and
full of carking fear, I say to those
about my bed, Fetch old Doc Casket
here; I'll soon shake off this clammy
dread when he is standing near"
In time the good old doc appears,
he looks me DER and sighs; the wis
dom of million years seems brood.
ing in his eyes; and I shake off my
doubts and fears, he looks so beastly
wise.
