Tedious Brief Adventure of K.M. A Doctor who came from Jamaica Said: "This time I'll mend her or break her. I'll plug her with serum; And if she can't bear 'em I'll call in the next undertaker." His locum tenens, Doctor Byam, Said: "Right oh, old fellow, we'll try 'em, For I'm an adept, O, At pumping in strepto Since I was a surgeon in Siam." The patient, who hailed from New Zealing, Said : " Pray don't consider my feeling, Provided you're certain 'Twill not go on hurtin', I'll lie here and smile at the ceiling." These two very bloodthirsty men Injected five million, then ten, But found that the strepto Had suddenly crept to Her feet — and the worst happened then! Any day you may happen to meet Her alone in the Hampstead High Street In a box on four wheels With a whistle that squeals; And her hands do the job of her feet.
