The Appendectomy

For a while, I was feeling
pretty bad.
But the doctors and the nurses
 gave me everything they had.

When they found out what my
pain was all about,
They rushed me to the O.R.
and yanked my appendix out!

While I was still all sick and pale,
 they stuck me in a tiny gown
that didn’t even cover my tail!

Now I’m almost as good as new
 and I find myself a member
of the ole scarred belly crew!

An operation is a great thing
to tell all your friends about
But to me, I never even knew it!
Wouldn’t you know, I had to go
and sleep right through it.
