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
