My Day Procedure

TRUE....it was write something silly or cry for a week... as experience I don't want to repeat but.....

 

My Day Procedure

 

I am lying on the trolley

Just waiting for my turn

Trying to forget how much

My nether regions burn.

 

"First in line" the nurses said

"You’ll be home again by four."

So I did everything they told me

As I waited by the door.

 

Only liquid for the last two days

Taking stuff to make me poo

And now I’m here, just waiting

There’s nothing else to do.

 

I obeyed all their instructions

Went two days without a bite

The theatre door just opened

Then I get a fearful fright.

 

"I am worried," said the doctor

"this procedure has to wait,

an ECG must first be done

we can’t leave things to fate."

 

I came in for the ‘bottom end’

Now that plays a different part

‘cause something is very wrong

With this old lady’s heart

 

"Cancel the procedure’

the doctor wisely said

"We feel we should admit her

We just have to find a bed."

 

All the staff were very good

And they really did their best

But I soon thought a comfy chair

Would be my only place to rest.

 

A bed was found, then I was sad

‘cause I wanted to go home.

They put a monitor on my heart

So I did not dare to roam.

 

Other tests were done next day

To my heart they had to tend

Still no food, because you see

They remembered "the bottom end"

 

Another day with nothing to eat

I felt skinny as a rake

I dreamed of mashed potatoes,

And a slice of chocolate cake.

 

The Cardiologist came back again

He said "Your heart is sick

and till we get it working well

the ‘bottom end’ gets the flick."

 

But I fear that they’re still waiting

To their will I’ll have to bend

And they’ll do their damn procedure

On my aching "bottom end’

 

For now it seems they have to wait

For my heart to do its work

And the "bottom end" procedure

This time I’m glad to shirk.

Life in color. Your life is always vivid and colorful, making one laugh, cry, smile and frown all at the same time.
For now, I hope the heart is fixed and stays strong for you to continue sharing your life as for the bottom end, I hope it's a while before they get back to thinking about it again.
Take care.

You are so funny! I was smirking through the whole thing. Also cringing...not being able to eat! Poor thing! Once again you've taken something sour and made it hilarious with your wit and rhyme. Thanks for sharing.
