Analysis of Negatory



You stuck that object
Into my body
Making sure what you got
Wasn't going to kill me

But as you worked your magic
On the operating table
You had a slight slip
And you nicked my right lung

I could feel the discomfort
As I could feel the pain
While that same lung went flat
And made a big ole collapse

But than you worked your magic
And placed a small tube
And made me recover
With a full right lung again

And to that Mr. Saw Bones
I do also say thanks to ya
As my cancer biopsy
Came back a big ole Negatory
