Appendicitis

Vomit strewn across the floor,
We're all praying there's no more,
All because she has appendicitis.
She was fine, or so it seemed,
A week before the doctor screamed,
"Oh dear! She has appendicitis!"
But now her bowels make their decree,
I hate to say it's not too softly,
For its reason is: she has appendicitis.
Since ER took their own sweet time,
Her insides ring like blowing chimes;
So she screeched at her appendicitis.
When admitted to the room,
We had to pass a barfer's boom,
The trouble we endure for appendicitis.
I waited in the there at six o' clock,
Hoping for word from a tired doc,
Wanting him to say, "No appendicitis."
After two hours, news becomes a bore,
But I waited all the more,
For my sister had appendicitis.
Eventually, my patience grew thin,
So I follow my sister in,
'Till I found the room that held appendicitis.
When morphine didn't do the trick,
She needed something that would stick,
She can't recall she has appendicitis.
Her giggles make her face turn red,
As she curls in the hospital's bed,
Just another day with appendicitis.
Her nurse thought her noise was a cry,
So she rushed in attempt to try,
To ease the pain one gets with appendicitis.
"Emergency" means "Oh, move fast,"
But it was ten before doctors amassed,
And told us, "We believe it's appendicitis."
A kind nurse wheeled my sister out,
(It seems some people ARE devout)
And took her the hall of appendicitis.
Of course they hadn't made her bed,
Of course they didn't keep her fed,
She only had a bit of appendicitis.
They said to have her spend the night,
And though they said not to have fright,
We all knew she had appendicitis.
The doctor took her away from me,
But she was so high she was filled with glee,
That's the last I saw of her appendicitis.
The operation went smoothly enough,
According to the doctor's fluff,
It was an easy case of appendicitis.
If this is so then why, O sir,
Did it hurt my sister to stir,
If indeed it was only appendicitis?
Why would she vomit after she would eat?
Why was this all that hard to treat?
If it was as common as appendicitis?
Nevertheless she got through the night,
But her anger was quite a sight,
She was in pain from the appendicitis.
And now the wheel-chair rolls her out,
And now she must face life without,
The help of her hapless appendicitis.
That is where you find us now,
(But how we got here I don't know how)
Someday we'll all forget...
Appendicitis.

    Although I enjoyed this poem with nearly 90 poems to read I am being strict on the rules, the requirement was for one pre-write and one fresh write, you have two pre-writes so I shall not be considering this for the final.

    You know, I've noticed that a lot of people have had appendicitis. I know like 6 or 7 people have had it. Great job. Alyssa
