You really don’t need a ganglion cyst,
Especially one that appears on your wrist,
One large enough that it can’t be missed.
If unattended it will persist
And the pain you feel can’t be dismissed.
When you give your hand a gentle twist
Or curl your fingers into a fist,
You know the ache won’t desist,
Until a surgeon’s help you enlist.
It really should go at the top of your list,
No matter how much you want to resist,
Although it’s a shame that such things exist.
Ignoring the problem won’t assist,
There’s one thing on which you can fully insist,
The fact that it’s there… leaves you thoroughly annoyed.
