What's Its Name

Dr. Good in hospital reminds us all
All pregnancies are final
Inconceivable at the core

Inconveniences must be dealt with 
Just another disease in need of cure
A personal malignancy to freedom
An interference with fun for sure
  
That growth inside of you must be extracted
Womb removals come at a pretty penny my dear

Dr. Metal Hanger operates at night
Just around the corner in the dark
In the back alley with a long thin wire
That inconvenience will come right out

Don't worry about the other organs
There is no extra charge for you
So spread um baby and open wide
Say Ahh.... This kind doesn't cry

By the way....what's its name?
The young girl whimpers, “Tumor”

Ooh. This is funny... having a well (or over) developed sense of humour as I do. I'll be interested to come back and see what others comment, if they dare. ;) If you're interested, I wrote "Two Bags Of Seed" on the topic. xomo
