Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Second Opinion

Doc told me that my pain was due

To drinking too much alcohol,

Even though when drunk I seem to

Not be feeling this pain at all.

Then I told Doc that I had heard

That sunlight could restore my youth.

Whereupon Doc gave me the word,

No, I was too long in the truth.

I pondered Doc's words long and hard.

I needed to test to conclude,

Went out in my sunlit back yard,

Standing all old and drunk and nude.

If you see me, leave me alone.

I'm doing research on my own.
