Doctors I Have Known Poem by Sonya Annita Song

Of all the doctors I have known,
The best are fictional.
They never tell you what to do
And are not clinical.
Instead of waiting in a room
You hang your doubts outside,
Then curl up in a chair or couch
And let the world subside.
Reality must fade away
Before you can perceive
The journeys back and forth through time
In ways hard to believe
By Doctor Who, who travels space
Within a strange blue box,
And Dr. Emmett Lathrop Brown
Who uses lightning shocks.

There's even one called Dolittle
Because he does just that
For humans, though for animals
He's quick to aid and chat.
There's Dr. Jekyll who seems kind
Until you meet his friend;
Dissociated Mr. Hyde
Can split your hairs on end.
Doc Boy is yet another one,
But please don't call him that,
Especially if your name is Jon
And Garfield is your cat.

And if you have a dialect
That's hard to understand,
The name is Dr. Higgins and
I bet he'll lend a hand.
Plus Dr. Evil, don't forget,
Along with Mini-Me,
While Dr. Lecter is the king
Of silent mockery.
So many doctors, yes, there are,
That I could introduce,
But I'll end here with my favorite one,
The one called Dr. Seuss.
