After 50 - states a well known belief
Your colon can cause you some grief.
To get it checked is the answer
In case there’s a cancer
With a procedure which can give you relief.
A colonoscopy needs to be done
Granted it isn’t much fun
You hope no polyps they find
if they do - hope they’re benign
If they are, then be happy - you’ve won.
