Do You Want Me to Call a Doctor?

'Let that ego go! '

Are you kidding?
You of all people,
Know...
I am addicted to self praise!

And besides...
Isn't it your turn to call me wonderful?
Go ahead.
You know I can be patient.

We've been sitting here,
For more than an hour.
And not once,
Did you make reference to that!

What's the matter?
Are you okay?
Do you want me to call a doctor?
