ultimately, “do no harm”
whilst rooting through his cavities
one false move ’twould cause alarm
with steady practiced hand disarm
poor Sam of his infirmities
ultimately, “do no harm”
funny bones might lose their charm
guard his broken heart, avoid brain freeze
one false move ‘twould cause alarm
it takes a skilled touch to perform
the tricky stretch, ankle to knee
ultimately, “do no harm”
from stomach where butterflies swarm
to ankles wrenched and watery knees
one false move ‘twould cause alarm
in surgery there’s no lukewarm
one must be sure, determined, you’d agree
ultimately, “do no harm”
one false move ‘twould cause alarm
