CT
Comuted Tomography - x-ray imaging procedure - narrow beam of x-rays aimed at a person and quickly rotated around the body
CT
why me
why not me, you see
what is special about me gee
it is just meant to be
that feeling of having to pee
looking for cancer we
are, and it very well maybe
there at anytime
and what about this time
as it's treatable,
probably not curable
The big C
is not for me
or you, he or she
too many have died
in my life, I have not lied
too many is where it is at
and some time it starts with the cat
scan around my abs
then their are labs
I have had the labs
oh man
it is time for a CT scan
in 2012 I was diagnosed after chemo I was undiagnosed
I have been told large b
and small b teehee
who cares
some stares
I should be walking the stairs
I could, but have no energy
and too many allergy
my coughing starts
doesn't stop and there are farts
okay, silliness and feeling better
maybe now I can write a letter
telling my friend I will take her setter
an Irish setter will be just right
a companion for the old guy
when I am gone, it wouldn't be too bright
to get it for me when I am allergic, big sigh
there I go again thinking I will die
just because I am getting a CT
oh me!
Didn't I just see a fortune teller
that looked like old yeller
tell me that I would live a long life
a long life to him may be his wife
who is sixty eight
and me just sixty seven
I'll be going to heaven.
All of this over a CT scan
Oh man!
