Here I am, again on the waiting shelf
And strangely, smiling to myself
Laying back, in this comfortable chair
Reminiscing. My nurse, has curly red hair
She attaches the electrodes to my head
And tells me, “Ivor, do not fret”
“Relax and close your eyes”
For the next thirty minutes, I’m mesmerised
I’m in the theatre’s semi-dark
There’s occasional flashing lights and sparks
In the blink of an eye, I feel polarised
And then I waken from my lullaby
The scan time did surprisingly fly
There is no need for me to cry
I’m unplugged, the red haired nurse, asks me why
Reminiscing. I blush, and say goodbye
