My Doctor's Appointment

I canceled my doctor’s appointment

The second time, due to the snow.

It’s to check on my eyes

But to no one’s surprise,

The predictions say I shouldn’t go.

 

It’s not an emergency visit,

But now I will be overdue.

I wanted things checked

But the blizzard’s effect

Is to underscore what is taboo,

 

Which is venture outside when the weather

May have whiteout conditions or worse.

I could trip on the ice

So I’ll follow advice

And stay home since the forecast’s adverse.

 

Maybe third time’s the charm will prove worthy

And on my next appointment, I’ll show.

Until then I’ll give in;

Mother Nature will win

And from home I’ll watch blizzard winds blow.
