Colonoscopy

After 50 -  states a well known belief
Your colon can cause you some grief.
        To get it checked is the answer
        In case there’s a cancer
With a procedure which can give you relief.

A colonoscopy needs to be done
Granted it isn’t much fun
        You hope no polyps they find
        if they do -  hope they’re benign
If they are, then be happy - you’ve won.

Witty look at colonoscopies, Ralph. Had one long ago and many polyps were found but all were benign. The upshot was I lost about five pounds "preparing" for the procedure. Cute set of limericks! Love, Carolyn
