Needle In The Eye And other Fun Things

I disclose that I Have regular appointments For a needle in my eye A thing I dread And I'm afraid of most Is when I see that Javelin Getting close It hurts so much I want to die And like a little girl I cry out NO sob and cry Don't move the nurse said As she tied me to the bed Ouch and have you ever had a needle in your eye Is what in reply I said The strange thing is Afterwards, my vision is blurry I cannot see What have these evil torturers done to me? The consultant once said carrots are good for your eyes Not if they're stuck in them I replied I have never heard or seen Anyone laugh so much He spilled his coffee cup Upon his crutch I'm sure those pretty nurses So sweet Are wolves disguised as sheep Boy do they push the damn needle Deep I used to play the piano And loved to read But now I'm getting on And out to seed I'd love to have my sentence of terror And execution reprieved I begged and pleaded as the clock ticked But sadly I didn't succeed Oh isn't life so much fun? I'm a nervous wreck Before the procedure Has Begun Never trust a pretty nurse Who smiles at you Or you may be A poor victim too Peter Dome©2024

Hey Peter, your poem offers a candid and poignant exploration of the experience of undergoing a medical procedure fraught with fear and discomfort. Through its blend of humour, vulnerability, and reflection, it invites readers to empathize with the speaker's struggle and confront the complexities of navigating through medical challenges with resilience and courage..
