The Complaint
A human to a doctor went
Because of pains. And there he meant
To ask why did he always have to turn his head,
Because of this his neck was sore and red.
The muscles in his neck would ache;
At night it oft would keep him wide awake.
The doctor's tests were long and thorough
And he was told come back again tomorrow.
"I could not find a thing that's wrong with you,"
The doctor said, then told him what to do
In order to relieve his painful neck.
"If that won't do it, please come back."
The human did as he was told, He thought.
He followed orders but it was for naught.
He took per doctor's orders afternoons a rest.
But still there was this pain in neck and chest.
So to his doctor went the human once again
To ask for more advice and to complain.
"I take my daily rest as you had said
But still my head is turning and my neck is bad."
The doctor first looked puzzled. Then he said:
"To help you stop the turning of your head
I didn't say to you that you should rest.
I told you 'get a hearing test'."
