Blooming Doctors

Blooming Doctors

I woke up with a sore throat and a really banging head

I thought it best to stay off work, and see the Doc instead.

I stumbled down the staircase so I could reach the phone

But when I rang the number I just got the engaged tone.

I sat and had a cup of tea then tried again to ring

All I heard was beep, beep, beep then my head began to spin.

I tried and tried to get in touch so an appointment I could make
Until eyes began to water and my ears began to ache.

 I thought that I must have the flu or something even worse

So phoned again, but still engaged, I had a little curse.
At last a voice did answer but then to my dismay
She said "I'm very sorry there's no appointments left today!

She said ring back tomorrow and I'll try to fit you in
I thought not blooming likely I won't go through this again.
I took some paracetamol and curled up in my bed
If I'm not right tomorrow the Doc can visit me instead!
