My Favorite Dish

My favorite dish, when it’s all done and said Is the metal one inside my head The dish that heats up near microwaves And makes airport security whisk me away The dish that put roundness back in my skull When before it looked like a concaved bowl The dish I cover with my toupee Because to insert it they took my hair away The dish that nobody else knew about Until this poem from me came out Without that dish I would not be here So for my favorite dish, I give three cheers

Years ago, I went out with a girl that had a metal plate in her head. She suffered from a rare congenital defect. She had a sister with a more severe form of the condition, and she died very young. Your couplets are written quite well.
