Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Transition

A man wasn't feeling very well,
And went to his doctor to check.
The doctor said, "I hate to tell"
"You, sadly, your health is a wreck."
"You only have 2 weeks to live."
The man was devastated, but
Asked if the doctor could give
Any advice that might short cut
Anxiety for those 2 weeks.
"You might try mud baths frequently."
"Will mud baths be useful techniques?"
The man asked his doc hopefully.

"Well, it sure won't cause any hurt,"
"And should help you get used to dirt."
