Success to the good and skilful Dr Murison, <br />For golden opinions he has won <br />From his patients one and all, <br />And from myself, McGonagall. <br /> <br />He is very skilful and void of pride; <br />He was so to me when at my bedside, <br />When I turned badly on the 25th of July, <br />And was ill with inflammation, and like to die. <br /> <br />He told me at once what was ailing me; <br />He said I had been writing too much poetry, <br />And from writing poetry I would have to refrain, <br />Because I was suffering from inflammation on the brain. <br /> <br />And he has been very good to me in my distress, <br />Good people of Dundee, I honestly confess, <br />And to all his patients as well as me <br />Within the Royal city of Dundee. <br /> <br />He is worthy of the public's support, <br />And to his shop they should resort <br />To get his advice one and all; <br />Believe me on him ye ought to call. <br /> <br />He is very affable in temper and a skilful man, <br />And to cure all his patients he tries all he can; <br />And I wish him success for many a long day, <br />For he has saved me from dying, I venture to say; <br />The kind treatment I received surpasses all <br />Is the honest confession of McGonagall.<br /><br />William Topaz McGonagall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-tribute-to-dr-murison/
