Laughter Is The Best Medicine
5.17.2019
I called my doctor
Afraid of what she’d say
Prescribe me things
Words I can’t begin to say
Slap on a strait jacket
Carry me away
I’ll never live
To see another day
At first I was afraid
But then this is what the doctor said
She said
Take two Laffy Taffy
Call me in the morning
You just need a couple laughs
It’s nothing too alarming
Pills are just comets
Their tails are full of warnings
Take two Laffy Taffy
And call me in the morning
I did just as she said
Called her back in the morning
She took me right in
Said she’d travelled the world
But no matter where she’d been
She’d seen everything
But found laughter to be
The best medicine
Then she broke out a rubber hammer
Thought she’d test my reflexes
Instead she thumped a funny bone
Everything she does perplexes
She proceeded to tickle my feet
Told me three bad dad jokes
Wrote me a prescription for clown shoes
Then sent me on my way
I never called that doctor again
But to tell you the truth
I have never had to
Though strange
My appointment had not been a loss
She may be no comedienne
But got her point across
More power in a laugh than a pill
It can heal with no side effects to ill
Laughter is the best medicine
