My Colonoscopy Poem by Randy McClave

I'm going to the hospital and I'm scared
For a scheduled procedure happening today,
Of course I am worried, but I'm also prepared
Unto God for strength and support I already did pray.
I nervously waited for my name to be called
Waiting to be escorted off to the changing room,
Will I walk, or will I be hauled
Will it end in relief, and hopefully not gloom.
The nurse closes the curtain and tells me to undress
I now wear only a gown as I lie on the gurney.
I am still worried and still full of stress
As I wait for the nurse to push me on my journey
I nervously lay and I wait and I wait
And now I am hungry and also feel as if starving,
What will be my ultimate fate
Will it be starvation, hopefully a chicken breast carving.
Dr Canty of course will be the physician in lead
He will be in charge of my special procedure,
I hope that he takes care of of that medical need
Out of worries and fright I pray that I don't have a seizure.
Now I am worried and now I am also worn
I now think what is the physician going to place inside of me,
Now I feel like I am auditioning for a terrible porn
In a few minutes it's going to be my colonoscopy.
