A lady I know had a kidney stone
mounted in a golden ring.
She wore it everywhere she went,
'tho 'twas a very large thing.

She asked a jeweler, "My good man,
would you call this stone 'pee-kill,
or would it be more correct
to simply say, 'sit-still'?"

The jeweler look at her gem,
and not wishing to be rude,
said, "Madam, either pronunciation is right
but, in truth, I'd call that stone 'food'!"

So he pulled down a curtain an showed her
a refrigerator of kidney stones.
He took one out and took a bite,
Handed her one
And she ate it with delight.
