(My Claustrophobic, MRI experience)
.
1.
"This, is, a, pain-free examination,"
that's what, all three said to me.
They'd just, wheel me in, that MRI
and see, what they could see.
2.
I told 'em, I was scairt to death,
all three, offered me a shot.
To sort of numb, my current fear,
but, I decided not.
3.
So they smiled, and lay me down,
and shoved me, deep inside.
And everything, I saw, was white,
(just like a, coffin, when you died).
.
Well,
I panicked!
.
4.
I knew, they would forget me!
This machine, would be my end!
No one, would ever, pull me out!
Oh, how I, wished, I'd brought a friend!
5.
Then, a thought, occurs to me
in my fearful panic here.
As long as I'm, so scairt to death,
why not fear, a bigger fear?
6.
So, I thought, about the Russians
and, I thought, about a war.
And everyone, was nuked to death
all of you, both near and far.
7.
But, I, have been protected,
the only one alive, is me!
Alaying in, my white cocoon,
no fall-out, could touch me!
8.
So, here, I'd be, until I died,
no food or water, by my side.
Just lay here, as the days slipped by,
just lay and lay and slowly die.
9.
Nothing could be worse for me,
that's what I thought, till I had to pee.
But the worst, had not come yet,
till stuff was added to my wet.
10.
Then as I lay there, smelling me,
laying in my icky stink,
I worried about all you people,
I was afraid, what you might think!
11.
Then, I remembered,
my, nuclear holocaust,
with one survivor, me!
No person alive. to smell my smell!
Nobody to see, this icky me!
12.
Then my fear, turned into mirth,
and my fright, just flew the coop.
With no one else, alive on earth
there was, "no one, to give a....(whispered) poop!"
13.
With that thought, I burst out laughing,
and the staff, got reeeeeeeeeeal concerned.
All three thought, my mind had snapped,
all three panicked, for, my quick return!
14.
I said, "I'm not in any mental distress.
I'm just laughing at my own silliness.
Leave me in, please, let me stay,
honest and truly, I am o.k."
15.
When they finally heard my story,
they agreed, that I was not daft.
And my ending, "no one, to give a poop,"
made all three of them. explode with laughs.
16.
(slowly)
This is how, my story ends,
that machine, and I, are.... friends.
No more frightful, fearful past.
I sure hope our friendship lasts.
17. (softly)
I really hope that we are friends.
I hope our friendship never ends.
(even more softly)
I hope our friendship never ends.
I really hope that we are friends.
