An American patient seeing an English doctor ...


He'd gone to see the doctor
His back hindered his stance
When he went in, the doctor said
"Please strip to vest and pants?"

The doctor waited patiently
The man just looked askance
He'd taken off his overcoat
And stood in vest and pants

The doctor rocked on heel and toe
An anxious little dance
"I really need you just to strip
Down to your vest and pants."

The man then caught the doctor's eye
To see if humour was a chance
Then shrugged and said "Can you not see?
I'm wearing vest and pants!"

The doctor sighed and scratched his head
He needed to enhance
The situation regarding
The patient's vest and pants

At last, an explanation
Brought each man from his trance
And finally the patient wore
Cotton vest and underpants
