Colonoscopies

Colonoscopies aren't all that tough
though ONE is one MORE than enough!
And besides all the sh&t, 
here's the worst part of it:
Guzzling liters of salty gross stuff!

NOTE: Truly the drinking a gallon of the "drink" the night before was the only hard part. And THIS thanksgiving, I am very grateful that the results of my test were PERFECT!!!

Chris Green Date: 11/25/2016 8:16:00 AM This has got to be the very first Colonoscopy themed poem I have ever read in my life. And now I wonder, why am I laughing? :) Your poem was very cute and numerous Andrea but sheesh, not something I expected to read this morning after Thanksgiving. :) Happy the results were good.

Jan Allison Date: 11/24/2016 10:15:00 PM So glad you had a good result and could make us smile with this limerick - many tests are unpleasant to say the least BUT they can save lives and I know I would rather suffer the indignity of having the squits than risk having something more sinister not detected:-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply
