A poem on Colonoscopy written by Open AI

And then I give it a go (and it takes me 3'600 seconds)

You can’t use the word ‘colonoscopy’ in a poem, can you?

“Would you like us to wake you up towards the end, so that you can take a look?” Asks the nurse. I hesitate. Do I want to peek inside my pipes? My curiosity wins. “Ok,” I say.

I doze off. Next thing I hear is the doctor’s voice “All is well, you can wake up now, look at your inner tubes, tar an,” he calls. I stare at the large flat screen in front of me. A pink-yellowish tunnel, humid, not unpleasant to see. And suddenly, I spot a black mark, about half a centimetre big, a recognizable shape. “Is that…?” I ask wondering if the anaesthesia is playing tricks on me. “A sunflower seed,” he says.

“Can that be?” I ask amazed. I drank a litter of that horrendous liquid soap they order you to swallow to rinse everything away.

“You mean the sunflower seed is still nested in my intestine? Amazing will to live, I think.

“Yes,” says the doctor.

I doze off again wondering how to let the sun shine in.
