Have A Nice Day

The old man has been hesitant

To expose his pet to risk

But he had seen a little lump

Near his dear cat's spinal disk.



And so he had come to the vet

Informed she had to explore

In order to determine now

If pills were needed, or more.



His only friend, of seven years,

Lay stretched dead on the table.

Procedure had not been followed.

Ethics had been a fable.



The heartbroken old man was told

His pet was full of cancer.

And that she just hadn't made it.

He believed that false answer.



"We're busy now, we'll send the bill.

You can just be on your way.

It really is all for the best.

Oh, and sir, have a nice day."
