I Was Caught From Behind
A Real Shocker
No matter what happens during my day
I try to be optimistic
Looking for the bright side
Well this time it's a little harder
I found it odd
First to think about
Then to accept
There is no easy way to put this
As delicately as I try to word it
A subject nobody talks about or brings up in conversation
Taboo
It leaves me with an uncomfortable feeling
In the inside and out
I think I am going to sit on it for a minute
Looking for the right words or medical mumbo jumbo
To make it sound more technical and different
Maybe I could make up my own word for it
A word that no one ever thought of
One that is specific and will cut right to the chase
Something that is hard to see
Doctors can remove it
The size of a marble but no fun at all
You can live with them
I am told
Old people are more familiar than young
Taxi cab drivers and bus drivers get them from all their sitting
You can say a red light is a caution sign
I also hear woman get them from having kids
I am off to investigate
Trying to find the root of the problem
I am still startled by my strange discovery
The first part of the word rhymes with stem
The end of the word rhymes with the name of the barber on Mayberry
On the old Andy Griffith Show
It's a subject that I wouldn't want to touch with a ten foot pole
It doesn't change the outcome
It won"t go away by itself
I have a doctors appointment in two weeks
For my regular yearly physical
I was just telling my wife I don't need one
I feel great
I really don't have to go
I would be wasting the doctors time
I know my wife won't let me live this down
It's not like a bump in the rug
She is going make make me eat my words
I just ate a whole sleeve of crackers writing this
Nervous energy because I really wasn't hungry
Something to do to take my mind off what I am really thinking
Awwwe come on
I don't need this right now
Then again I don't know how it could of been avoided
So if you are bold and don't mind thinking off the beaten path
A little reality check in the world of computers
No hacker will ever hack into this
They are real people and this is off limits
