Alec Derwent Hope
1907 - 2000

The doctor loves the patient
The patient loves the bed -
A fine place to be borne in
The best place to be dead
The doctor loves the patient
Because he means to die.
The patient loves the patient bed
That shares his agony.
The bed adores the doctor.
His cool and skillful touch
Soon brings another patient
Who loves her just as much.
