THE MAGICAL MEDICAL MERRY-GO-ROUND

They've put me down for a cardiac ablation,

If nothing else - a new sensation.

With advancing years such things are found

On the magical medical merry-go-round.

 

There was even a choice for a dicky ticker

But they said that this was new - and quicker

Than the other two they offered for free,

So I said that'll do for me.

 

If such occasions have to pass

Well - it's a rest from a finger up the arse;

But you'd think they seek to seal my fate -

They've booked me in for bang on eight!

 

There's a certain black humour to be found

On the magical medical merry-go-round;

But when they jump-start my hip-hop heart

i only hope that I don't fart!

be glad that your heart will soon have regular thumps
The time to worry is if your farts have lumps!!
Enjoyed the poem. xx
