Before the exam you have to give blood, And hope during there is no flood.

Ode to a Melodie Physical

Before the exam you have to give blood,
And hope during there is no flood.
You pee in the cup hoping for clear,
So you dont have cake, coke or beer.

During the exam theres some prods and a poke,
And she always asks if you still smoke.
The stethoscope feels very cold on the chest,
But you hope the lungs are working their best.

And then comes the summary of good or less,
With fine explaining that must impress.
Wellness is the focus and suggestions abound.
Wow! A true health advocate has been found.

Then she dismisses you with eyes that twinkle,
Leaving you know if the body does wrinkle,
Her staff and Melodie really do care,
And want to be part of any repair.

Thanks!
