Far Tougher Spots

My doctor wouldn’t look me in the eye

As I shared my family's medical history

“I won’t mince words, son,” he finally said

“This looks like a rare and deadly dystrophy."

“You could be gone by July

Should you choose to ignore it

But I have a cure in mind

And I suggest we explore it”

I did not take the news in stride

In fact, I wildly overreacted

And as a result too many lives

Were profoundly impacted

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Now I’m pinned down in a laundromat

By snipers on the rooftops

I'm trying to convince myself

I’ve gotten out of several tougher spots

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

I consulted with my life coach

From Malibu via Zoom

He can see George Clooney's house

From his guest bathroom

We recited the Serenity Prayer

I ordered some of his special branded cologne

We scheduled another appointment

For after he gets back from Rome

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Now I’m pinned down in a laundromat

By snipers on the rooftops

I'm trying to convince myself

I’ve gotten out of several tougher spots

The sharpshooters out there

Have itchy trigger fingers

Things are getting more dangerous

Every second here I linger

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

My doctor

Wouldn’t look at me

As I shared my family's medical history

“I won’t mince words, son,” he finally said

“You could have a rare and deadly dystrophy.”

Whoa whoa whoa whoa
