    It was just another day in
    That never ending series for them.
    Hands stretched for tokens in
    All directions without a whim.

    Some were already waiting in
    That hall in the small clinic.
    Others were seen sulking in
    The hot sun, easy to mimic.

    The doctor's in time was two hours away.
    The crowd kept pouring in more and more.
    The assistant still issued tokens and swayed
    Giving room to the old woman who swore.

    The scene there changed in the minute
    The coughing doctor came in a swish.
    His bell rang aloud within a minute,
    Followed by verbal fights and a gush.

    After restoring the order at last,
    The doctor was immersed in his work.
    At times the assistant was summoned
    To get medicine, injections, in a bark.

    The doctor came out for his lunch at three.
    The attender boy stood and stopped him,
    Asking whether he felt better to see
    His master's rigid outlook softening.

    Patting him, the doc asked him to
    Have his food and moved away.
    The boy ate faster and saved a few
    Morsels for the lame dog that day.
