Heather Dubrow presented with intermittent double
vision . . . All consistent with divergent insufficiency . . .
I do recommend her to do eye movement exercises.
- (From neuro-ophthalmologist's report)

My doctor explains my left and right eye
now sometimes fail to coordinate
enough. This condition, he says, is why
I have double vision, why now of late
I see two people ahead when one walks by.
Population explosion? Nope, my medical fate.

He prescribes new glasses, exercises to do.
Initially upsetting—but should I rue
The diagnosis?. My condition has surprises
And takes some welcome guises.
Doubled dangling earring?
The effect is quite endearing!
Are they giving me two slices from their chocolate cakes
(With more cherries on top, extra chocolate flakes)
Even though I ordered only one?
My partner's member had been perfect, ideal.
But two for one? Let's try it, I'll squeal,
Double vision has real down sides, yes
But pluses the doctor did not guess--
Double the pleasure, double the fun.
