Doctors Visit

Going to the doctor My appointment time was nine But as is usual They are running behind So, I sit here waiting For the passage of time It's always nice to know That time is never mine Finally they call me Then I jump for joy The wait wasn't too long But still just enough to annoy They take me to the exam room Where I get to wait some more Now I'm wondering exactly what I'm sitting here waiting for I'm thinking that I should leave To avoid any more aggravation But then I think I should stay Though leaving is great temptation Then the doctor walks in She asks, how is your day I look at her and smile What I think is different from what I say She starts checking me over When she see's the spot on my neck She says, I'll do a biopsy Then, send it to the lab to be checked Then she says to me I think I already know the answer She said, from the looks of it I do believe it's skin cancer A week later her suspicions were confirmed She told me what my options are I listened very carefully She added, but it will leave a scar I told her that didn't matter I just want it removed I didn't care the end result As I now felt subdued So I thanked her and left her office Went on my merry way Knowing now I faced surgery But that's a poem for another day
