Colonoscopy.
Hardly topic one would chose
To write poems about.
Doctor blew my mind
Checking out if I’m the one
He’s supposed to treat.
“You can’t be the one.
You don’t look your age, my dear.”
Talk about delight.

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Well done! I love when our attitude shows our age! ❤
I like your twist that our attitude shows our age. Thanks. ❤
Compliments always a gift. What better time to receive than when we are faced with an uncomfortable situation.
You got it! Thanks for your comment.
Ha! That made me laugh. Way to tackle a not so pleasant, if not subject, experience with flair! Well done, vivachange! 🙂
Thanks, Cyril. I had fun writing it. 🙂
I’m laughing. Did you get a photo in living color of your colon?
Yes, and the doctor said it was very “loopy”. I now think of my colon in a different way. Its like a benevolent garden snake keeping me in good health.
Very fun poem!!!
My brother died of colon cancer at 39 years of age, so I started having the colonoscopies in my early 40’s. Wish I could get my kids to do it, but at this point they won’t.
I’m sorry about your brother. I’m glad you take care of yourself. My children’s father’s mother died of colon cancer. My oldest son accompanied me last week for my colonoscopy. He said one good thing that came out of it is he is scheduling one for himself. He is 50. I hope your kids follow your suggestion.
