The Surgeon

Gotta be patient                                                                                       This is pathetic

              To operate....                                                         Obviously no anaesthetics 

                   A sick surgeon                                          As the doctor and the patient

                                   Urged on                    To put himself under the knife

                                          By a cancerous tumour

Even before I read your comment, the layout came to seem as the cut of a surgeon into skin..a very effective visual.

I wrote this without the even thinking about the V format. it was only when I started typing it here at WOL that I got inspired to lay the poem out as a V starting from Gotta be patient to this is pathetic. Actually had to omit a few lines closing lines to get this lay out.
