Love Sonnet to a Mammogram

source
I love to get a mammogram each year
I count the days until my scheduled time 
Apprehension, nervousness, and fear
Emotions that I always find sublime!

I love the gorgeous gowns I get to wear
The feeling of couture as I parade
down the hall, front open, my boobs bare
Showing off the goods, my breasts displayed!

And then there's the technology advanced
The cold and heavy pressing metal plates
Like a play doh in a toy, I watched entranced
as boobs are squeezed into unnatural states!

And when the doctor calls, I gush effusive
Repeat because results are inconclusive!
