Getting a Colonoscopy

Getting a colonoscopy
is not much fun.
Out of your butt
stuff will definitely run.

Oh, the nasty stuff
you have to drink.
Glass after glass,
this stuff is starting to stink.

You can only eat
what you can see through.
Jell-o and broth
just really won't do.

Eight hours on the toilet,
hope you have more that just one.
If not, your whole family
will be waiting for you to get done.

At the clinic the next morning
the doctor is running behind.
You are cranky and starving
but no food can you find.

Your name is finally called,
IV is put in place.
By now you are so hungry,
it doesn't matter what you are going to face.

The tube is inserted
after you go to sleep.
You won't get much rest,
the sleep is not to deep.

They fill you up with air
then wake you up fast.
The first words you hear
are you must now pass gas.

You will find
it's really not hard to do.
Especially when they tell you
it's the only way you can have food.

Nurses will tell you
if they have any fears.
Hopefully, you will hear,
'Don't need to see you for another ten years".
