Cold and Flexible
A serial of haikus, all addressing the same topic with
a hint of humor; but advice that could save your life
or that of a loved one. New to PoetrySoup, so I hope
I'm not "out of order" with this submission or topic.
Cold and flexible
Probing my dignity...
Colonoscopy.
This “simple” exam
“…could prevent cancer.” they say.
Colonoscopy.
We all have to die,
But not from colon cancer.
Colonoscopy.
There's a downside tho’.
“Yuk! That, nasty SuperPrep.”
Colonoscopy.
“But boy, does it work...
Work and work and work some more.
Colonoscopy.
Baring your buttocks...
In a fetal position;
Colonoscopy.
“No polyps", they say.
There are no malignancies.
Colonoscopy.
Your colon’s okay.
It’s five years until your next...
Colonoscopy.
Want some peace of mind?
Insurance will pay for it.
Colonoscopy.
One “simple” exam
Can provide that peace of mind.
Colonoscopy.
You might save your life.
Over 45? Do it!
Colonoscopy.
Cold and flexible.
On the other hand, what if…
Something else kills you?
