The Catheter's Lament

The following was written by an Infection Prevention Consultant at a hospital in the U.K.

I am a urinary catheter,
Dark places I must go.
My job is clear,
I have no fear,
I have to ease the flow.

You are the one I am inside,
It enters not your head,
That if I'm left in
(a mortal sin)
You could just end up dead.

At times I am a useful aide,
My use you should not flout.
On every day,
Someone should say,
It's time to take me out!

I am an IC patient,
I've seen my share of caths,
They certainly do go,
Where I wish they shan't.

The Cath laments,
That I see,
And I lament
Right back at thee.

Be best if you
stayed in your sack,
And looked upon
My retreating back!

(Sorry HVAC) :-)
