Sense Sonnet - Acher

 My First Ever Hemorrhoid

I was a college freshman when

A bowel movement I struggled on.

Shortly after, awful pain in

My butt, a new phenomenon

I had not experienced before.

Of course the big "C" I thought first.

Student health diagnosed my sore

As a formed hemorrhoid that had burst.

Relieved, no cancer, got some goop

For it, glad it no longer bled.

Later, I called Mom with my scoop.

I heard Mom laugh and then she said,

"I remember my first 'roid too."

"I got it when pregnant with you."
