LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP!

There once was a man from Olympia,
Who tired of his increased myopia,
So he phoned his eye doc,
And cried out with some shock,
"See me 'fore I get presbyopia."

So the man climbed into his car,
And luckily, didn't have far,
Though not in a hurry,
His vision was blurry,
So his driving was quite bizarre!

With great courage, he lifted his chin,
Grabbed the door, took a sigh, and walked in,
"Now, doc, tell me straight,
Before it's too late,
All my options, now, as we begin."

"We can fit you a pair of new glasses,
But realize the girls won't make passes,
Or maybe perhaps,
A pair of contacts
Will help you see well in your classes."

"We can also pick one of my lasers,
It's neat -- like the Star Trekkies' phasers,
I can cut you a flap,
And go 'zippity-zap',
And voila, I'll fix your two gazers."

"Golly gee, willackers, and jeepers!
I've been blessed with only two peepers!
Though I don't see a lot,
They are all that I've got,
And to cut 'em just gives me the creepers!"

"There's no way that I'll try that do-hickey,
That procedure -- what is it? -- lasiky?
To map, flap, and zap,
And you say, 'It's a snap'?
To me it just sounds sort of icky."

"I think that I like having four eyes,
And the more that I ponder, surmise,
Wearing glasses for sight,
Is really alright,
Yes, I think my decision is wise."

"I'll be keeping my spectacles, thank you,
And to LASIK -- my goodness and whew!
I'll continue to take care,
Of my God-given ware,
And I'll see! -- perhaps better than you!"

So the moral of this little limerick,
Is to look before jumping to LASIK,
Think a lot 'fore you do it,
So you don't say "I blew it!"
Then you'll always be happy, not sick!
