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.
