April: #National #Poetry Month

Conversations between a Medical Physicist (me) & CT scanner

~4pm: Overhead someone humming a rhyme

MP: Hey buddy, are you hearing the humming rhymes
Or is it just me hearing sound?

CT: No doc! You’re fine – U don’t need a brain scan yet!
1/

CT continues:

Actually, it was me who was humming the rhyme

MP: What! That’s a nice rhyme you are humming – sounds so lovely.

CT: Well then, let me tell you the rest of it doc!

Round and round I go around
All day long and all night long
Others may quit
But I won’t quit.

2/

CT: Continues

From going round and round!

Every time I go around
I peek in, by passing my x-rays
Then, I let my buddies generate
what’s inside

That’s why, I ain’t bored.

You may still ask,
at least once in a while,
“Don’t you get bored
To keep going round and round?”

3/

CT continues:

To that I say – “no way man”

When you’re on a mission
To find out what’s wrong
In those (patients) who come trusting you
Bringing lots of bling-bling, to docs like you.

Yes, it’s my motto, it’s my mojo, it’s my maxim man!

Moms, dads, sons, and daughters
He, him, she, her, they, and them
All are coming with so much fear
Seeking why their health ain’t real.

MP: Boy oh boy! you really made my day

Here, I was thinking while walking
Why should I care
To lower the dose
To keep images so rosy rose!
5/

MP replies:

Seeing what you do
By going round and round
with minimal sound
You really inspire me

To do my best, so I can glee.

As you go round and round, all day long
I promise to make sure your path is smooth
So, you ain’t marked for not working soothe.

6/

MP continues:

So that you can give -
Images that are bright!
Images that are edgy!
Images that show beyond the normal

In those who come feeling abnormal
Images that pop out, what seems ain’t working
In those who come looking.

7/

MP continues:

You inspire me so much
I might even work insomuch,
To ensure you ain’t stopping
Keep on making images popping

8/

CT: Thank you doc.
By the way doc,
your rhymes are not that bad
For a doc of your kind!

Also, I often wonder
Why many aren’t curious about others!
Hardly converse with us brothers!

so the conversation goes on between a MP and a CT
