The ambulance hurtled through the night

Scattering pedestrians left and right;

Arrived at the ER at quarter to three,

The back doors were open, but there was no me---

At four-fifteen I staggered in,

Limping and with a Cheshire-Cat grin;

The triage nurse checked my vitals, then peered

At where i had been--I'd disappeared!

I waited and waited to see the doc

until it was 8:03 by the clock;

So I went up to my ward by the stair

but when I got there, I wasn't there!

You may be alarmed at these comings and goings--

Sometimes I'm hiding and sometimes I'm showing;

Here's the mystery, please don't scream--

I've eaten a jar of vanishing cream.

Here goes.

Hospitals always seem to me

The way a starship ought to be.

The corridors, the ceiling lights,

Uniforms passing day and night.

I like to walk them, not to be

The patient in Emergency.

I wanted to draw

I had a sore throat

Off to the hospital, said Maw

Go get your coat

I had my crayons

I had my poncils

I went under the knife

I left without tonsils

The nurse said:

Don't be scared, my dear

then stuck a thermometer

in my ear

i don't know why i'm here

they've checked my hands feet mouth nose and ear

i didn't really get your question by the way.
