A Mole's Removal

A Mole’s Removal

The nub of pinky fingertip
Proportion earned its end.
Its obscene jutting out from flesh,
Our senses, did offend.
A merciful syringe of drug
By Doctor’s hand dispensed
Desensitized the evictee
Though muscles all were tensed.
Then pinched between phalanges two
And pulled out awkwardly
With hacks and sawings, scalpel dealt,
Was felled the fleshy tree.
A liquid, red contingent rushed
To well up in the void.
To keep those troops within their bounds
A bandage was employed.
The bit of ugly tissue was
Precisely exorcized
And ostracized from components
Of which Jeff is comprised.

Years ago, Jeff had a huge mole removed from his back and I watched the entire disgusting process. He still has a big scar that he'll show you if you give him 50 cents. (Just kidding.)
