The Bypass Bop
A sonnet
Jul 23, 2021
Pops’ pain is a product of pesky plaque-
starving his heart of what it needs to beat,
it’s the culprit that caused his heart attack,
it seems a bypass graft is what he needs.
Thousands of adults have this done each year,
some with the help of a heart-lung machine,
Its completely normal to have some fear
but know this will help with his heart disease.
Imagine how wonderful it will be
for Pops to walk without an aching heart,
for him to feel he can once again breathe
waiting much longer could cause him more harm.
Coronaries clogged by cholesterol
left alone will surely be Pops’ downfall.
