Code Blue
too close to the forest to see the trees
to cross the I's and dot the T's
better forget the edit
and call the medic
prep and get him in a gown
going to have to remove a noun
and maybe put in a verb
if it fails, it's out to the curb
It's a dire situation
can't find any punctuation
the spelling and bad grammar
throw this writer in the slammer
the right diagnose is slim
the prognoses is grim
FLAT LINE OOPS! I hit delete
OH! well, nurse, let's eat
Dr Stan, Dr Stan CODE BLUE
EMERGENCY EDIT CODE BLUE
must be another one of that hippiepoet
he's no Longfellow and he doesn't know it
hurry let's slip out the side exit
turn off your phone before they text it
Dr Stan CODE BLUE Dr Stan CODE BLUE
DR STAN WHERE ARE YOU
my treat Chinese, Mexican or Italian

Thanks Ian
I don't think Dr. Stan can fix this old hippies writting. Sometimes my spelling is so bad. Even spell check don't know what I'm trying to spell. But I know I am smarter than this computer. Because I can mispell more words than it knows. And the older I get. The less words I can spell. Take Care. huey
