I went down to the chemist
to see about getting some cream
for a rash on my arm.
I joined the queue of people
and finally reached the front.
The pharmacist leaned over the counter
and asked what he could do for me.
I pulled up the sleeve of my anorak
and showed him my rash.
You should go and see your doctor, he said.
I rang them and they said to come here. I said.
Go back to them and tell them I sent you, he insisted.
But they were quite adamant I come here,
I explained.
I know what I\'m talking about,
the chemist said,
I\'m the one in the white coat.
I raised the sleeve of the anorak
I was wearing, also white.
I\'m wearing a white coat too, I said.
My coat suggests I study pharmacology,
he said, while yours suggests
that it might rain later.
