My Kidney, Stoned Poem by Matt Mondschein

My Kidney, Stoned

Rating: 5.0


Oh the pain, the pain
nearly drove me insane
never felt pain as this

I was stoned literally, stoned
from the bladder up to the kidney
Oh woe! was me

twenty four hours
I lay there in a bed
lovely nurses galore

though their luscious, insidious beauty
did me no good
blinking my eyes to wish the pain away
if I only could

plenty of morphine to ease this drought
' till the next morn
I did roam
to the O.R

the op was a success
although quite the mess
urinating blood for a day or two
I'd never wish this pain
on your worst enemy

so as far as I can see
things will be fine
as long as I keep my diet in line

must sacrifice some foods I love
spinach, shell fish
even some meats

just another pain in life
putting up with
a momentary strife
getting blessed from a doctor
under his knife

I found this a good read. It's realism brought home my daughters suffering with kidney problems. Great Imagery Best Steve
