HUMPTY DANDY HAD A GREAT FALL

Went in for Friday's Doctors appointment
To see if all the scattered shells were back together
That's a yoke silly!
tests to see if my cranium was still scrambled
I still have trouble remembering three words
Sunset, sunrise and ah-----------Maple surple!
Heah, I had trouble with memory in the third grade
Anyway they gave me that test they give drunks
Walk, heal behind heal forward
So I went backwards but I did it well
How many fingers do you see
Ten but you keep moving them around
But actually I did that one well
Then I had to touch fingers
That was good until she said,
"Close your eyes, put your hand on your knees"
Uncross your eyes, "Now come up and touch my fingers."
I surprised myself I could never do that drunk
Then she said turn around and go back to your seat
I did the bop, spun around backward and danced an Irish Jig
She said you are out of here you can get rid of the walker
I said I already did it was hard to mow the lawn with it.
Oh well, now the Petticoat Dictator says I am back on the clock
She wants me retested for Alzheimer's
If it well get me out of work I well do it
She was in the back bedroom and hadn't nagged me for an hour
So I called her on my cellphone
She said, "Where are you?"
I said, "I don't know I am lost!"
She said, "Where are you--!"
I walked down the hall and said, "Right here!"
Now she wants me put in an insane asylum
