Back to the Eye Foundation Hospital

I'll look like Frankenstein for a couple of weeks.

Back to the Eye Foundation Hospital

 

By Elton Camp

 

It’s great to be able to see much better now

The surgeon replaced my old lenses somehow

Now, sagging eyelids, like lots of ugly old men

Are causing me to need to go there today again

 

Drooping eyelids the visual field overrides

And you can’t see to the top or the sides

The final results are likely to look okay

But ugly, black stitches will the work betray

 

My wife looked like the “Bride of Frankenstein,”

The time to look so scary has come to be mine

But so that little children I won’t have to scare,

I have some black glasses that I plan to wear
