The doctor advised Leigh’s gallbladder must be removed <br />A few simple snips and his health would be improved <br />She told him to sign up for a Cholecystectomy, Laparoscopic <br />Four incisions are sliced for surgery microscopic <br /> <br />First they’d inflate his abdominal cavity with CO2 <br />Then they’d get out their telescopes for a fantastic view <br />Of his gallbladder, bile duct, cystic duct and liver <br />Cut free his gallbladder and through an incision deliver <br /> <br />This organ, already emptied of its painful stones <br />So we’d be hearing less of Leigh’s whimpering moans <br />We wish him good luck, they say the risk is very low <br />We’ll see his smiling face soon with a healthier glow <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2008)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gallbladder-removal-humour/
