Good for What Ails Ya

My vet and my farrier can’t seem to agree

About what in the heck is wrong with me. 

The vet thinks it might be my brand of snoose, 

But the farrier wants shims in my boots and shoes.

So I asked our mechanic for a third opinion,

And he wants more grease on my rack and pinion.

And to head off such problems at similar points,

He wants to put zerks in all of my joints. 

Well the guy at the feed store asked how I was doin’

So, I told him my troubles and asked for his take.

He went right to the back room for a mineral block 

Then out to the shed for some protein cake.

But when I got home with all the goods and advice,

My wife laughed and detected one small omission

She said we can all briefly escape -  and humor is nice,

But it was really high time that I called my physician.
