So the other day I was pondering two totally unrelated things:
OK, so it was time for my second colonoscopy. (def.: Colonoscopy, n. – an examination of the colon by means of a flexible fiberoptic instrument [colonoscope] passed through the rectum.) Oh, I forgot to tell you – don’t read this while you’re eating. 😂

So: I have taken the liberty of writing a version that is perhaps more current, given these Covid times… My ditty goes like this:
🎶🎵 Vaccinaaation 🎶🎵
It was vaccinaaation, I know,
Time for a shot in my arm, for protection
Just a little jab, just a tiny stab
I was saved by a quickie injection
It was vaccinaaation, I know,
A second shot came along three months later
Just a little poke, it really is no joke –
My arm hurt like a bite from a ‘gator
It was vaccinaaation, I know,
Time to get boostered, just for “insurance”
Just a little pierce, just a little prick
No Covid! For I have resistance! …well, 70% resistance… approximately… they’re not sure…
😬😅
