Sonnet: A Surgeon Is No More Today!

A surgeon taught his pupils well all day; His students learnt the craft from him aright; He showed them how the craft turns art, his way; He made them surgeons everyone, all bright. He was so simple, punctual gentleman; His role was model to his successors; He was a knowledgeable, wise a man; Envy could have filled his predecessors! He loved to teach and train the youth by art; He showed the world that greatness comes through toil; Time came for him in old age to depart; The tree that sprung from soil, returned to soil. The surgeon was exemplary all life; He took the world by surprise with his knife!
