My God I was in a lot of pain
Made an appointment with a nurse
She said "I would need my ear syringed
Otherwise it would get worse"
Go down to reception
And book another date"
Two days later I was back
With the doctor running late
When the nurse called me eventually
She asked "What I was there for"
I said "I'D COME ABOUT MY EAR"
Then followed her through a door
She asked me to strip from the bottom down
Then passed me a blanket for cover
Stating"The Doctor would not be long"
Then went off to help another
As I laid cold on the couch
Counting every dot on the wall
She came back and apologised
The Doctor was out on call
She asked "If I would like to go
And come back another day"
But I was there now ,so I sweetly smiled
Said "It's fine ,I'd rather stay"
She popped in every now and then
Said "It shouldn't be too long"
I laid there trying to work out ,
Why I had removed my thong ?
Eventually Dr Yates came in
Looking rather jolly
Followed by the nurse
With instruments on her trolley
"Right Miss Skeet draw your legs
And flop them by your side
Take a breath,try to relax
Nurse may I have a slide"
Next he pushed a speculum
Full of lubrication
Into my , well ,you know what
I didn't feel elation
He must have seen my horror
As I tightly closed my lids
Then with a really cheeky grin
Said "Wait til you have kids"
The nurse said "Icould get dressed"
Then I was free to go
If anything untoward showed up
They would let me know"
No one had looked inside my ear
No attempt made to syringe
Infact they never mentioned it
Just focused on my minge
I walked home in turmoil
How could it be connected
I reasoned perhaps that it had spread
And somehow been infected
I said to Mum "I told them
That i'd gone about MY EAR"
She laughed and said "You silly cow
The've thought you said a Smear"
