Alternative Medicine

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

My brain and ear scan was done today,
But the results I will not get until Friday.

So my daughter, Daphne, did insist
To see her acupuncturist.

Because her belief
Is that it might give me relief,

Instead of having to wait
In this debilitated state.

I do not have to mention,
That I was apprehensive when he scheduled this intervention.

I know Western health care does not look for a cure,
but just promotes pill use for sure.

I am ready to try an alternative way,
Even if acupuncture does not help, as some say.

In this debilitated state I cannot remain,
And trust I can only gain.

So, tomorrow I will try something new-
His name will probably be Wong or Wu

A few dollars out of my own purse
Is worth a change to feel better instead of worse.
