Hospital Gown

 

It's a tarp

with a hole

don't mention

what shows

 

It covers

your front

leaves your

backside exposed

 

Shows cracks

in your armor

'cause it

doesn't quite close

 

A flap

in the back

a tent with

no pole.

I was in hospital last year for open heart surgery and put on one of the gowns you mention but accidentally back to front. It caused quite a stir. It must be my age
