He turned humorous words into cash
as he lectured about the car crash
to his peers who attend
and increase his stipend
osteopathic surgeon’s huge cache.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Hugh Cache, osteopathic surgeon
went out fishing an got a huge sturgeon
said he'd mount it to brag
to his patients and snag
many more, so his practice will burgeon.

So his practice will burgeon some more
until patients line up out the door
of his small waiting room
but that could be his doom;
his work hours are just ten to four.

If your work hours are just ten to four
you should post it upon your front door
and explain that today
is the one when you pay
'cause the others you're closed to the poor.

Because others are closed to the poor,
they now open free clinics galore
and the care they receive
makes the Democrats grieve
for Obama-care’s soon out the door.

Since Obama is now out the door
the White House is clean from the floor
to the walls for the new
President no one knew
would be there, nor what now is in store.

Wood bees would not be there in the store,
that is what apiaries are for
so when getting a hive
make sure queens are alive
and you’ll be honey-less never more.

If you'd be honey-less nevermore
do not throw your sweet wife out the door
'cause you never will find
anyone so refined
as that woman you've come to adore.

If that woman you’ve come to adore
was your prize with one knee on the floor
then remember that vow
and you’ll make it somehow
to build memories you can explore.

Building mammaries you can explore
is the doctor who moved in next door;
after meeting your wife
said he'd light up your life,
guaranteeing that you'd never snore.

Guaranteeing that you’ll never score
could be something you want to explore
for your wife may not be
looking good presently;
change comes with plastic surgeons next door.

Plastic surgeon next door wants some change
for a twenty, which you can arrange,
but when you give him bills
he'd expected some pills...
much confusion in verbal exchange!

If those verbal exchanges confused
and you stand around looking bemused
turn up that hearing aid
so the sounds that are made
will inform you that she has refused.

If he says he refuses to go
let him keep leaking gas just to show
that you'll stand anything
that his crudeness may bring
though you'd rather he leave your chateau.

If he leaves your chateau with some help
from your foot and he’s starting to yelp
let him know that you care
but you don’t wish to share
your small house and please watch that first step!

If he watches his step while in thirst
it's not likely that he'll be the first
to be drunk as a skunk
and end up on a bunk
of the jail house with neighborhood's worst.

If the neighborhood’s worst are in jail
and they don’t have enough to make bail
then Obama may pardon
by calling the warden
to let them all out and raise hell.

If they let them all out to raise hell
and the neighborhood's life is pell-mell
send Obama your thanks
with some edited blanks
so you won't be a jailed ne'er-do-well.

When the ne’er-do-wells jailed all got riled
folks at ACLU freed and smiled
but when school-children prayed
that they’d make a good grade
they were sued by those folks and reviled.

while the guy who's at bat

that tonight he can visit Teresa's
