Different Sort of Apology

[CW] – You’re a surgeon and you’ve accidentally left an item in someone’s body. Write a song or poem explaining to the patient your mistake. [Link to post.]

 

Dear patient Patient,

I apologize. Sorry.

for an accident,

Which will make it hard to pee.

My day was hectic.

 

 

Lunch was rushed. I ate quickly.

Food was delivered

While you were sleeping sweetly.

You may be injured.

I dropped a morsel in you.

 

A salted french fry,

it dropped inside your scrotum.

But no need to sigh

it’ll be a cinch to pluck.

Between a fry and your scrote

There is a vas deferens.

 

Your bill is enclosed.
