Ladies.....You all feel my pain?*

With all the things we must endure in life,
Another pain staking annual exam.
Ladies I'm sure you all will agree with me,
Is the most unpleasant mammogram.
Each year we go for our female check-ups,
Feeling nervous, as we sit in our seats......
Only to walk into the examining room,
To be treated like a piece of meat.
Once he's done invading our world,
He gives me papers for another trip.
A trip that I hate the most.........
But it's for my own peace of mind,
To make sure that all is well physically,
The assistants there are always kind.
They hand you a gown, it's all routine to me.
You'd think modern technology would invent a more comfortable machine,
To put us more at ease.
Having to place our body parts, sometimes I feel like crying
Knowing that they will be smashed on this square cold plate........
Which reminds me of a waffle iron.
Stand this way, now hold your breath, while they take several x-rays.
By now your could just imagine, what I want to say.
This happens over and over again......until they've got it just right.
We females should be given a medal of valor,
For being so strong and brave every year. While I'm getting dressed I say to myself,
"Let me get the hell out of here!"
I honestly hope that one day a female Doctor can.............
Invent a machine, like our waffle iron..... only flatter and wider,
And call it by it's most deserving name...."The Mammogram"!
Turn about is fair play!

This is a delightful read. Yes, I can remember those times with utter disgust. It feels so degrading, that and that wonderful pap. I just wait all year long for that lovely time to roll around. I always hope my doc will forget but she never does. This is funny and makes light of a necessary but painful procedure.
