There once was a song called "The tunnel of love"
You've never heard it? Oh, Heaven's above
I must be showing my age,
At one time this song was quite all the rage.
But now there's a tunnel I've come to know well
It's name really should be the tunnel of hell.
If there's a complaint that your GP can't fix,
Don't despair, you'll find there are plenty of tricks
That a specialist is determined to try -
And top of the list is the dread MRI.
You're flat on your back with a weight on your chest
And for this procedure you're suitably dressed
In a gown that is sure to make you depressed -
But that's just the beginning, and now for the rest.
You've ear plugs and a shield to soften the sound
But you can't ecape it because you have found
You just cannot move, and it's quite a shock
For the noise is as loud as a concert of rock (music, that is).
A variety of noise is assaulting your brain
If it doesn't soon stop you feel you'll go insane.
It's not hard to see you are over the hill -
And then there's the thought of the medico's bill.
Just when you felt this never would end
For it seems like eternity - are you round lthe bend?
You're released, but wait, there is more,
Just a change in the torture ere you find the door.
Will this ordeal restore you? can anyone tell?
No way you'll revisit the tunnel of hell.
