Title
Dr Goodall
Description
The poet, Donald Campbell has written a poem inspired by this character by Holt:

Doctor Goodall

"Doctor Goodall is not keeping well"
That's what all his patients say.
How did he come to seem so frail?

Look at him; you can clearly tell.
Doctor Goodall is not keeping well.
His voice is weak and his skin is grey.

He'll come at once, without fail
when needed, and he won't delay.
That's what all his patients say.

He works too hard; it's all pell-mell.
'Patients to see.' - that old cliché
Doctor Goodall is not keeping well.

He badly needs a holiday.
That's what all his patients say.
