What the doctor told me

Doctor don’t be a tease

Can you give my soul ache ease?

Read his answer please.

Counting ten million

Refugees fleeing famine

War and disease

Forgotten sisters,

Brothers from your family tree

They are not some other!

Plucks at the heartstrings?

Can possibly do something?

My prescription’s here

To save guilty tears

Donations are entrusted

To Médecins Sans Frontières

Cheques and postal orders

You may safely forward to

Doctors Without Borders

Cheaper than snakeoil!

Works better than water cures

Quicker than a sneeze
