The Cataract Operation

 

By Elton Camp

 

Old age caught up with me and vision became unclear

Thanks to modern medicine, blindness I needn’t fear

Out comes the clouded old lens and in went the new

It required only minutes and the operation was through

 

When the eye patch came off, it was then that I smiled

I could see again as clear as when I was a little child

Now my biggest problem is that it is so hard to hear

If only there was a surgeon who could put in a new ear
