Analysis of Doctors

A doctor is someone
Who sees us for our ills,
He checks us out, and then he writes
Prescriptions for some pills.
There's a special kind of doctor
For every body part,
A doctor for a broken bone,
And one for broken hearts.
Some doctors look inside your mouth
And make you say an "aw"
They spot a light into your throat,
Which could be sore and raw.
The docs that check our vision,
Eye glasses might prescribe,
But if they find a cataract,
On surgery, might decide.
There are docs for old folks,
And for the very young,
There are even ones that often treat
Grossly polluted lungs.
Every kind of doc you'll find,
But my favorite one is he
Who probes the human mind.
