Ear we go again
Unhappy as can be
Back to BRI to lose
Another bit of me
A chunk was taken out my arm
And that I thought was that
But then a nasty spot just grew -
Where sun got past my hat
I lost a pizza slice that time
It left a little nick
But then a sore patch did appear
Made doctor feel quite sick
So back I went for biopsy
'Twas taken with a punch
And now they want me to return
Well really - thanks a bunch
This time with new piece from my lug
I'll need to have skin graft
I know I'm in the safest hands
But hope this one's the last.
