Doctor Leon L.

A smooth-talking surgeon
Of doubtful renown,
Known as the butcher
Of hospital town,
A hazzard to patients
In his green gown,
Collected an exorbitant fee
For cutting the wrong knee,
Put some patients at risk
By removing the wrong disk,
One of those careless, young rakes
Who bury all their mistakes,
But then came that lucky day
When they took his license away.
