Antibiotic-Go-‘Round

 

The dermatologist cut away part of my ear

          Truth!

The maxillo-facial surgeon cut out my impacted

          Tooth!

They negotiate now which antibiotic to use

To void the chances of infection or bruise

 

“Gentlemen,” I say,

 

“Weigh each certainty against a doubt

But both the original ear and tooth are out!”
