‘A dumpy little Jewess’ you call her,
but you always bring her flowers
(roses from the local fruit shop) .
Her office is poky, half hidden
in the rabbit warren that is
Box Hill Cardiology
The walls are smothered
in certificates of her accreditation -
Associate Professor Gishel New.
Today I shook her hand.
‘A dumpy little Jewess’
to be sure, but more,
so much more…
A lively interesting face,
jet-black golliwog curls
and a voice bursting with authority.
They say she’s a bit of a harridan,
but I can see why you like her
and why you always bring her roses.
Thank God she’s doing your angiogram!
To be continued....
