Your MRI

Are you ready for your MRI?
Your heart; your blood and pressure seem OK.
Do you have metal shavings in your eye?

Remember, fees and charges do apply.
For your safety, we strap you to the tray.
Are you ready for your MRI?

Ferromagnetic histories can pry
violently forth out of the gray.
Do you have metal shavings in your eye;

shrapnel from an inky day gone by
or unforgiven shards left by the fray?
Are you ready for your MRI?

Slide in. The creamed dome becomes your smooth sky.
Your protons stiff—a manicured array.
Do you have metal shavings in your eye?

Death gives no pause. One heard a buzzing fly
just as a bright disease lit up her day.
