Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Ignorance is Bliss

Went to Doc for routine checkup.

Doc took some tests and told me to

Call him the next day, which came, yup,

And I called Doc for the review.

Doc, always a straight shooter, said,

"Your tests show news bad and news worse."

"Twenty four hours, you'll be dead."

Yes, bad news, I wanted to curse,

But asked Doc what the worse news be.

Doc seemed unsure of what to say,

But finally, Doc said to me,

"I should have told you yesterday."

Thought of that cliche hearing this.

Yesterday ignorance was bliss.
