Stone

Stone

They’re going to bombard it

With short pulses of ultrasound

The doctor sounds quite confident

That it won’t long be around

 

They hope it’ll break into pieces

Fragment into passable bits

But I’m not quite so optimistic

In fact it’s giving me the shits

 

What if it hurts?  What if it’s painful?

I’m not so sure that I’ll cope

I have to trust in these medical men

All that I can do now is to hope

 

The next stage is the laser

But that’s not much to my liking

Then keyhole surgery if it gets desperate

To kick the ass of this alien thing

 

It’s grim and it’s aching all day

It niggles inside of my kidney

But I’ve just got to get rid of it

Just how hard can this lozenge be?
