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.
