When spirits lag into my bag I delve and look around
Meds for the head , purple and red , most certainly abound
But it's not these , if you will please , that are most what I seek
For seen through those , everyone knows , the truth's more oft' oblique

Nay , my friends , what guides this pen are scrips in laymans tongue
Their words indeed fulfill a need from well-springs they have sprung
A fabled fount that will surmount the passaging of time
Absurd these words , well maybe so , but then it is my rhyme

Ponce De Leone pick up the phone , you've no need to embark
What you desire will not transpire without that inner spark
The way is clear I've found it here , a water/fire mix
Unstable yet still able to perform most wondrous tricks

This recipe now carefully I'll bring forth into light
In truth my youth is now preseved by these the words I write

Mock this assertation at your own risk if you will
But I've found more salvation here with words , than e'er with pills


Oh Hey ! Will you look at that , the missing appointment book ! I wonder how that got in here ?
I simply must get this back to Nurse C. ! Hmmm, I wonder what the rest of them have been up to ?

Wow, Dr. Moose-I'm thoroughly impressed!

I'm grabbing my hat and coat
I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!

Doc Moose, What fabulous writing here. As for the appointment book, you best just keep it, this here Nurse has moved on. The Crayon King and Lady in Red are back though.

Kit,
So glad you enjoyed . It ain't all fun and games , though I do try to emphasize the fun part.

Nurse C,
I'm so sorry to hear of your departure , and can't help but think that I'm in someway responsible .Please tell me it ain't so , and join us once again .
Doc

Dearest Doc Moose,
You're no way responsible!
This here Nurse has found
new games to play in the Pub.
Open is too busy a place now,
and a drink now and then
helps the words flow easier.
If you would like to join
this Nurse at the pub,
then she would love to stay.
For now she's playing
another Alias in a fun game.
Come on over and see
"Mischief in Camelot"
You might enjoy it's game.
Other than that start a topic
in the Pub for the Stute
and Nurse C. will join in,
as I know Lady in Red,
and Andrew will also.
I bet Jeannie can summoned
to make an appearance also.
Maybe see ya round,
got finish my Rum and Coke.

Ahh, Nurse C.
I see you be
hangin' with the G&T's
or maybe , the R&C's
as for me
I'd rather be,
accused a fool
who sometimes drools
but then again
every now and then
I have beewn known
to go full blown
So , see you there
do not dispair
The "Pub" it is
Mayhaps the "Wiz"
Will join us for
A trazzle - triz
