HOSPITAL GOWNS
Sometimes you put them on with the gap at the back,
Then your rear end all modesty does surely lack,
Unless you are really skinny and it can wrap around,
Then the part you need looking at cannot be found.
Some tests require the front be opened up, oh my!
What visions of sheer embarrassment meet the eye,
At one time they were disposable, they fell apart,
It’s a wonder folks didn’t die who had a bad heart.
But today in imaging, it was a proper dressing gown,
Written all over was, ‘hospital property’, I did frown,
Did it mean that I was no longer belong to me at all,
But to the hospital to hang in a closet by a long wall.
But after the tests were over they did let me out,
I was not hospital property ‘Goodbye’ I did shout,
But it was good to see folks wrapped up good and tight
In real dressing gowns, parts that should’nt show out of sight.
