The doctor gave me a stern look,
He handed some papers to me.
It's the results of a blood test I took,
They were not encouraging to see.
"Have you been taking the medicines
Each day, for the three months past?
Your cholesterol levels have risen,
And it has gone up fast."
I went home, rather disappointed
With the results of the test.
By a good doctor I've been treated,
I thought I've done my best.
Now I need to take more medicines,
For another two months to come.
The doctor is not happy, by reason
Of the unexpected outcome.
"The doctor is not happy"
