How many Optomotrists
Drive Fiat Cars
Few I have heard of
The colour of Mars
The famous red planet
That sits in the sky
This man’s visibility
Perceptively high

Myriad lenses
Distinctively clear
His unmistakable patter
Rings in one’s ear
Comedic instructive
A true revelation
Thorough and visual
It’s about sensation

Confidence building
Eidetic he be
Comforting attentive
Helps one to see
With his lenses projecting
Apparent appearing
His smile, his persona
Truly endearing

Mindful a visionary
His examination
Pinhole implacable
With such devotion
Inspects and examines
A shufti a gander
Never a compromise
No one is grander

He wears his thinking cap
Such cerebration
His thoughts are profound
Much consideration
Pondering, whimsical
Each application
Puts one at ease
With his deliberation

Thoughtful considerate
Scrupulously, comes to his decision
Painstakingly
Patient and helpful and positively
Puts you at ease
A perfectionist, He

At Warners End
Close to the park
Thie Optometrists
Is where he makes his mark
An affably gentle man
And I have to say
That he does have a fan
At the end of this day

For I am impressed
With his credible style
In his infallibility
To reconcile
Any uncertainty
He thinks laterally
A good sense of humour
He implicitly
Develops a confidence
Subtle and aware
And what comes across
Is that he really does care.
