Mri Music

While waiting for my MRI And nervous, I will not deny, The techies then guessed That a music request Might calm me, so I did comply. I naturally chose rock & roll Since being absorbed was my goal. With my eyes tightly closed All the words, I supposed, Would keep butterflies under control. So the clanging began, as it must But the music helped, as we’d discussed Though the very first song Made my panic prolong – Queen’s “Another One (me!) Bites the Dust.”

Sorry. Ilene, but I can't relate to the music because I'm not into rock n' roll. My music appreciatio n ended in the late 19th century! I did, however, find your last limerick humorous. My last MRI was 12 years ago, and at the time I was claustrophobic. They gave me a little bell to ring if I had to get out of the tube they put me in. / M
