There are many subjects to write about

Some wonderful, some not quite so stout

Sometimes we can cross an invisible line

Between good and taste not quite so fine



Some words are written in good humor

Some tend to skate on edge of a tumor

Which, if not tended to, could yet grow 

Into lesion which must be excised below 



So, there are measures taken to relieve

The pain and pressure of the sore's seed

When the dish has been properly seasoned

Then it's time to bake it, with good reason ...
