DOCTOR'S DUTY by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: COULD I KNOW IN ALL MY LIFETIME
Last Line: AND -- DEITY!
Subject(s): PHYSICIANS; DOCTORS;
Could I know in all my lifetime,
Some wizard way,
What a village doctor has to
Know every day; --

Could I do in half a decade,
By magic power,
What a village doctor's got to
Do hour by hour; --

Could I be the kinds of wonder
He has to be,
I should be a Bacon, Caesar,
And -- Deity!
