I'm the bumps and bruises doctor; <br />I'm the expert that they seek <br />When their rough and tumble playing <br />Leaves a scar on leg or cheek. <br />I'm the rapid, certain curer <br />For the wounds of every fall; <br />I'm the pain eradicator; <br />I can always heal them all. <br /> <br />Bumps on little people's foreheads <br />I can quickly smooth away; <br />I take splinters out of fingers <br />Without very much delay. <br />Little sorrows I can banish <br />With the magic of my touch; <br />I can fix a bruise that's dreadful <br />So it isn't hurting much. <br /> <br />I'm the bumps and bruises doctor, <br />And I answer every call, <br />And my fee is very simple, <br />Just a kiss, and that is all. <br />And I'm sitting here and wishing <br />In the years that are to be, <br />When they face life's real troubles <br />That they'll bring them all to me.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bumps-and-bruises-doctor/
