I feasted on Simethecone but it was all in vain. I swallowed Omeprozole and threw it up again. And it all makes work for the working folk to do. 'Twas on a Tuesday morning I couldn't empty... but I called the Chiropractor to straighten out my gut. She grabbed my neck and ankles and she pulled this way and that. She said: "You have a blockage. You must see a doctor STAT!" And it all makes work for the working folk to do. 'Twas on a Wednesday morning we called the ambulance to treat my dire emergency, my colon's stubborn stance. We rushed through all the traffic lights with sirens blaring loud. To garner such attention! I was both abashed and proud. And it all makes work for the working folk to do. 'Twas on a Thursday morning I entered Urgent Care, but they were only stymied; they couldn't help me there. The Gastroenterologist came bursting into song: "Unless you take a camera pill we'll never know what's wrong! And it all makes work for the working folk to do. 'Twas on a Friday morning I bravely tried my luck, but soon we found the camera was well and truly stuck. They took a nasogastric tube and, trying not to miss, they put it through my nostril, saying: "Now dear, swallow this!" And it all makes work for the working folk to do. On Saturday they sent me home. On Sunday it came out. 'Twas on a Monday morning that the gasman came about. He said: "We'll have to wait and see just what the testing shows." He argued with the surgeon, so my treatment gambit froze. And it all makes work for the working folk to do. MAK |
