Medical Marvels - What I Learned On the Web Today

Medical Marvels

Medics in a clinic in Honda,
Columbia – way south of our border
Helped a young woman who’s HooHa
Seemed a bit – well – out of order
It seemed she had green vines protruding
Where green vines should never have been
Twas from a potato now sprouting
That her mother had had her place in
Her mother said it was protection
An organic grown IUD
The sight of a vine from that region
I know would sure do it for me
The doctors said it was unhealthy
Removed it and all of its sprouts
They said she was now back to normal
But me; well, I still have some doubts

Another young woman in Bishkek
Somewhere in Europe I guess
Complained of severe stomach cramping
And seemed to be under some stress
She had a bad habit of chewing
Discarded hair and her own
And all that hair she had been chewing
Had gathered in her stomach zone
The doctors performed hair removal
An 8.8 pound ball of fur
She’s since cut her hair in a pixie
In case the urge should reoccur

hahahha, these strange stories are so fun to see. I watch these medical discovery channels and stuff like this is commonplace. I bet you would love those shows One had a boy who was born with his twin brother (that died in the womb) still attached to his body. He carried this twin's limbs and butt on the front of his chest and finally they found a doctor in a civilized country who could cut it off him for free before its weight would kill him. Such oddities! love your poem.
