Dr. Rick Bruck
Years ago, I told Rick about the Nation political cruise
Which I guess to him was interesting news.
Since couple of years later I got a shock
On encountering Rick and Jill on the embarkation dock.
Now it seems Dr. Rick Bruck is plumb out of luck.
The Democratic Party is hopelessly stuck
Rick knows what needs to be done
But no one is listening…nary a one.
He studies our recent history
With intensity that’s no mystery
It’s what made him a cardiologist of renown
Relentlessly tracking every symptom down.
The noble heart of man resides within his chest-
As a physician he was one of the best
I knew of patients in his care-
For them Dr. Rick was always there.
And, in years gone by
With the patient nearly gone
Rick was known to loudly cry:
“Where’s my X-ray tech Dawn?”
Dr. Rick’s motivation for his perseveration
Is concern for our fragile endangered Nation
For that which for us may be in store
Rick’s dad said it: “We’ve seen this movie before.”
So Dr. Rick enlists his wealth
In working for Women’s Health
As he earnestly yearns
To improve everyman’s concerns.
Dr. Rick is a man of passion
Who is filled with compassion
And concern for the other
I’m closer to Rick than to my own brother.
