Biopsy
Dear doctor,
You are well schooled, but lack a sense of humor
Do I have a growth, or an ugly tumor?
Please examine this biopsy, who knows...
Will it be fatal as it grows?
For days I waited for the result
Joined a church and joined a cult
I’d better wish, I’d better pray
Soon I may not have the time of day
Phone call claims, “It’s benign
Take an aspirin and you’ll be fine”
