Provided an annual physical in 1978
I passed with flying rainbow colors
Until the physician said, “My goodness.
You’ve got a lot of wax in your ear.
I’m going to remove it.
The cathartic release
Freed my ear from stuffiness.
The physician explained,
“Look at this gooey piece.
You should be able to hear much better now.”
He stuck the globby wax
Extracted from my ear
With Streaking blood
Into my face
I couldn’t imagine how
He was able to disengage
The oversized chunk.
In the next moment
I awakened to see
The doctor bringing paddles
To shock my heart.
“You must have fainted.
We thought you had a heartache
wanted to bring you back.”
I was no longer a virgin fainter.
Really??!!
