DUCK or RABBIT?..................The rabbit–duck illusion is an ambiguous image in which a rabbit or a duck can be seen.

When we find we are short of breath

We will want to know what's wrong

So off we trot to the doctor

Thinking this won't take too long

But as you pass through the system

Many people you will see

But they all see something different

How confusing that can be.

That's a really clever picture 🐰 🦆 And a great poem too thanks Don. So true!

It's a picture with a hundred years history, worth a Google. 😉

If you can get an appointment it will take a few weeks

If you are lucky the doctor will take a peak

Then s/he will ignore your hacking cough

With 'go away you're not important enough'

Or it's old age they blithely say,

Live with it and be on your way

I have got more relevant people to see

That's everybody else, but certainly not me! x

Clever poem, Pussycat, but what a sad tail. 🙁x

Ooh praise from the bard is praise indeed! I never feel supported by my surgery -I always feel like a nuisance. Not that I go much anyway as it's always such a battle trying to get an appointment and I always feel a sense of futility when I have to see someone different every time. I do have a couple of favourite doctors but they are always fully booked x

When Skis is in a rhyming mood

And the subject turns to duck

I cannot help but worry
