He whipped out a ruler Six feet tall And used it to measure my coronary walls “Good job,” he said, nodding his head, “Your heart will keep beating with no pain at all!”

Reflexes

The large creature sat on the check up chair and swung their legs a little while waiting. They waited for what felt like an hour in silence until the door finally opened again with an older ogre who peered over her glasses. “What are you here for today?” “Just a normal check- up?” “Mhm and you’re a class three demon it says here?” “No uhm- class four now” She peered over her glasses again and made...

Take Two And Call Me In The Morning

“I’ve been just exhausted lately. No matter how much sleep I get. I am just beat,” Periwinkle said.

“Beyond the fatigue, do you have any other symptoms?” Dr. Acorn said.

Stifling a yawn, Periwinkle reflected on the last few weeks. Her doctor’s office hadn’t changed since childhood. Hand-drawn pictures and family photos were tacked to every wall of the hobbit’s medical office.

“No I feel fine...

A giant thud on a massive scale Boy, you’re still heavy as a whale. Verdant with glow; sign of good health. Look a little fat; hoarding the wealth. Wouldn’t hurt to snack on some coal. Exercise try to drop and roll....

Drink

The fire in the dragon, was dry as the outside sand There was no wet kisses, of love or hold of hand

Claws had no moisture, or water to make them glow Off to see the doctor, with the helping bag let’s go

He put his old glasses, on the Dino’s spiked head You must drink more liquid, the good man had said
