Cacophony



By my count this is day four of the cacophony of 
consultations - yep, a helluva way to get noticed; 
Waiting Room habitancy suggests you should’ve 
known, or at least guessed its process is flawed 

But lest we forget, there is a Profession at risk in 
all o’ this, not merely fly-on-th'-wall observations 
from a disgruntled nonentity - who is th’ one that 
still awaits info - whether or no - he’s had - RRV 

Err, that’s Ross River Virus - but now bye th’ bye 
in th’ crazed campaign t’ elucidate and explain a 
panoply o’ symptoms hitherto unrelated: & we’re 
no wiser yet just how they’re debated circulatory

I suggest perhaps its dementia, as I forget which 
manifestation came first & when, & rest requited; 
it didn’t fit those event sequences of relevance -
& it isn’t agreed because all of it came from me 

So we’ve been Dopplered again, with the scans 
being sent t’ my GP: come Tuesday next he’ll let 
me know what he thinks, or we’ll be into another 
euphonic round o’ th’ consultative hegemonies
