revisited January 23rd, 2024
on the evening before yours truly
(the one and only Matthew Scott Harris),
a stand up comic wannabe, who
historically heartily hales 
from Schwenksville, Pennsylvania
undergoes oh joy rapture colonoscopy.
Three days before that first appointment 
with estimable gastroenterologist
Doctor Kellen Karl Kovalovich
regarding upcoming procedure
scheduled for August 17th, 2022),
unfortunately yielded inconclusive results
meaning the excretory material 
not satisfactorily expelled.
Though necessary to swallow
four Dulcolax laxative tablets,
plus additionally quaff half 
238 gram bottle of Miralax 
over span of eight hours,
and if necessary
even apply one Fleets
(or store brand) Enema.
Ideally Vaseline ought be applied
to the enema tip to avoid abrading
sensitive skin surfaces.
The missus located lubricating fluid
she purchased Trojan lubricants
Continuance Essence at Adult World
when a clearance sale 
at said store took place.
As a more effective modus operandi
aforenamed said specialist 
strongly advised taking Su-prep 
in place of Miralax, which 
two step process already begun
earlier today, which 
date mentioned in first line.
I grudgingly accept short lived
lower abdominal discomfort

analogous to reasonable and tolerable

considerably less severe than shigella

nada worry colon cancer
would pose grave threat.
I remembered first colonoscopy
specialist named Larry Borowsky
located 525 Jamestown Ave. #101, 
Philadelphia, PA 19128
(challenged courtesy hearing difficulty,
hence he wore an auditory device)
treated me some half dozen plus years ago,
yours truly didst solidly waste, 
rather subsequently spent 
a few hours writing, toil letting,
and crafting the following bupkis
slightly modified to correspond
with present modus operandi treatment.
Ask any devotee
of above named gastroenterologists 
officious military licensed cheeky knucklers, 
ne’er kissed gluteus maximus, 
they soldiered thru medical school 
despite getting pooped out

vital details regarding bowels of human 
excretory system, which iz alimentary 
and familiar flickering

of anal scope brings – dang
gustatory scenic aerated holy smoker 
of a rectum, a wasteland fang
less, but the backside seat, 
where dingle berries
and/or polyps sometimes hang,
whence undergoing this 
behind the scenes procedure 
where smelly silent sonnets 
from sphincter sprang
most times flatulence

but, post-op probe 
forced air into buttucks, 
thus encourage patients

who feel self conscious farting in public
before departing from human race,

relieves anguish without a trace
which gratitude spurred
crappy attempt to compose verse
to express appreciation 
clean bill of health and disperse
anticipatory anxiety, this pooper trooper 
endured with pseudo “nurse”
actually mine wife, who nudged me
to undergo examination
lest she bare witness

following mine hearse
if hypothetical demise did pass, 
deceased would hear loud curse
analogous to unstoppable enema, 
(brought out from downed colyte
consumed for first colonoscopy)
expletives interspersed with my name 
exhibiting master card

nor forgetting how we happened 
to be broke nearly the entire
