A Common Sense

I never liked doctors. Don’t trust ‘em. No one wants to go to school for that many years and still has enough sense to cut me open. But some crack told me I needed a new heart. I didn’t care much when he said I’d need a hospital stay, but then Sylvia started cryin’, so I checked myself in. That’s how it usually went. She was always lookin’ out for me, and I never wanted to listen.
