16,089. YOU THREW OUT THE BABY! HERE'S THE BATHWATER!

YOU THREW OUT THE BABY! 
HERE'S THE BATHWATER!
No going backwards on this one either.
Step lightly, my friend, lest the stairway
collapse. Put your patter away and let's try
swapping jokes; or just make something up
and I'll laugh for the right effect. My garment
is rent and my spirit is broken.
-
High up in the hills, there's nothing amiss,
but it's down in these basins where the
screw-ups begin. I'll say it again: 'This
is a hospital town, and it's dragging me
down.'
