Mastectomy Musings - A Poem of Gratitude

Mastectomy Musings

You fed my child, you entertained
You nipple tassel twirled
You looked great in bikinis
On beaches round the world

My cleavage was phenomenal
On you I could depend
On ugly or bad hair days
You were a loyal friend

I stuck my boobs out loud and proud
My chest was quite exalted
And as erogenous zones go
You really can’t be faulted

You’ve never let me down
Our relationship’s been long
But maybe I just wore you out
‘Cos lately you’ve gone wrong

And though I tried to keep you
It’s clear we’ve reached the end
So I thank you for your service
And I say farewell, my friend

For in saying goodbye to you
This way I get to live
What’s more, I get an implant
So there’s nothing to forgive

Farewell, fair tit!

Fantastic homage to our lost boob. Beautifully expressed. Congrats.

Thanks @Bernieke Writing about things is my way of processing them so I did this ahead of yesterday’s mastectomy. It made me feel much better about it. As has your message. :blush:
