Prostrate Exam

I never felt so embarrassed my dear It’s not like they were checking my ear He gave me a gown with ties in the back Is that what they mean by saying no to crack He said please lay over on your side I saw his big hands, that’s when I cried He said there are no lumps that I can find I said your breaking my behind He said we’ll go through with a camera when I’m done I said I hope it’s not a hand held one He asked can you hold on I’m almost through To keep from flying that’s what I’ll do I can’t believe you are in so much pain It’s because your nurse forgot the novocaine He said shame on you screaming like that I said you’re either criminally insane or a democrat He said the test is complete and you are all clear I said thank you doctor, see you next year.

LOL funny! Been there. Done that. It's the results that matter. No humor when something is found. -ED-

This was soooo funny, I had to show it to my hubby!! He said "Now you know why I've been putting off my exam!!" (I've been nagging!!). It's the male version of what us girls go through...having our boobies squished and flattened like pancakes!!! This poem was a winner...keep us laughing!!

Vince this really craked me up, forgive the pun. i had one of these they are called a proto, and the doctor told me i should have one every year, yah in his dreams, i screamed and yelled, and he said oh come now it's not that bad. this was a great piece. i will put this in my favorite poems, it is really funny one.

wonderfully written - we all have to have a sense of humour about some of the things in life we don't want to do - and you hit the nail on the head.

Vince this made me laugh so hard the doctors are always poking at us aren't they. Womens check up aren't much better! :) Good one Laura
