The (f)EAR

Standing there with shaking fear

As they stick the needle in my ear

Been swollen for a few days now

Filled with fluid , I don’t know how

Bob is there to hold my hand

Comforts me in where I stand

 

Cream I’ve tried it didn’t work

Each night returns , by morning hurts

I lie there think nice long walks in the soft warm sun with longer talks

Of animals that scurry round

As we come along go to ground

 

Then in the car we drive at speed

To the hospital for those in need

Familiar smell, familiar face

Slippy floors not much space

Now I get it, here we are, as he bends down and ums and ahs

 

Yes that ear is not so good

Another injection I think I should

No you don’t I’ve great big teeth

Bugger off vet, leave me in peace !
