Mammogram

Women over fifty
need to have a mammogram yearly,
It is an important test
that involves squeezing a woman's breast.


It is for cancer screening
but leaves some women really screaming,
Place your breast on machine which
clamps down on it like a fish sandwich.


Then it's tender to the touch
not many women like this too much,
I do believe it's a man
who invented this type of torture plan.


Why don't they screen men this way
put their member on this thing I say,
Then prostate cancer will flee
I'm just laughing at this imagery!
