Pale freckled skin, keeps organs in
Protects me from the sun
All this flecking, requires checking
To the doctors I run
*
In cotton gown, I wait around
For examination
New magazines, computer screens
Office decoration
*
Skin is assessed, concerns addressed
At my age my spots change
Scanning processed, I can get dressed
We talk short range, long range
*
Have the “all clear”, return next year
Keep wearing the sunscreen
New spots appear, please have no fear
We’ll do the same routine
