Wednesday Tumor Blues!
1. He probed inside my nose
He took a piece from my tumor
He asked if I was in pain
I wasn’t!
I could not feel a thing
2. My mind got into full swing
Tumor – tumor – tumor
You have another bloody tumor
It’s not a rumor – rumor – rumor
But a tumor - tumor – tumor
Deary me dear, we are a one aren’t we
Lets be very British and have a nice cup of tea
3. Why couldn’t you have a nice easy hobby?
And collect stamps or old post cards
No, not you, its bloody tumors!
Like being the martyr do we
Like all the attention
Oh, how your ego struts the stage
You’d make a great lap dancer
Whoring around your glamour cage
4. Blood poured from my nose
The nurse handed me some mesh tissue
Told me to pinch the end of my nose
To try and stop the bleeding
My nose ignored my attempts to halt the blood
5. MRI scan to be arranged
I smiled and nodded
Make another appointment for next Wednesday
Then we’ll know whether its benign or malignant
(C)2009 Lenny Gazbowski
With special thanks to my Mind for its interfering nature and black comedy. Priceless!
It’s the black humor that keeps me sane, well, that’s open to debate!
