The Dormouse and the Doctor


There

once was a Dormouse who lived in a bed
Of delphiniums (blue) and

geraniums (red),
And all the day long he'd a wonderful view
Of geraniums

(red) and delphiniums (blue).
A Doctor came hurrying round, and

he said:
"Tut-tut, I am sorry to find you in bed.
Just say

'Ninety-nine,' while I look at your chest. . . .
Don't you find that

chrysanthemums answer the best?"
The Dormouse looked round at

the view and replied
(When he'd said "Ninety-nine") that he'd tried and

he'd tried.

And much the most answering things that he knew
Were

geraniums (red) and delphiniums (blue).
The Doctor stood frowning and

shaking his head,
And he took up his shiny silk hat as he said:
"What the

patient requires is a change," and he went
To see some chrysanthemum

people in Kent.
The Dormouse lay there, and he gazed at the view
Of

geraniums (red) and delphiniums (blue),
And he knew there was nothing he

wanted instead
Of delphiniums (blue) and geraniums (red).
