Misunderstood and much maligned
Slaving away in the heart of darkness
Working where the sun don’t shine!
We praise the colorectal surgeon
Misunderstood and much maligned
Slaving away in the heart of darkness
Working where the sun don’t shine
Respect the colorectal surgeon
It’s a calling few would crave
Lift up your hands and join us
Let’s all do the finger wave
When it comes to spreading joy
There are many techniques
Some spread joy to the world
And others just spread cheeks
Some may think the cardiologist
Is their best friend
But the colorectal surgeon knows…
He’ll get you in the end!
Why be a colorectal surgeon?
It’s one of those mysterious things.
Is it because in that profession
There are always openings?
When I first met a colorectal surgeon
He did not quite understand;
I said, “Hey nice to meet you
But do you mind? We don’t shake hands.”
He sailed right through medical school
Because he was a whiz
Oh but he never thought of psychology
Though he read passages.
A doctor he wanted to be
For golf he loved to play,
But this is not quite what he meant…
By eighteen holes a day!

I heard
this on the Prairie Home Companion radio show and loved it.
A Prairie Home Companion is a
live weekly radio variety
show hosted by musician and songwriter Chris
Thile. The program was created in 1974 by Garrison
Keillor, who hosted it until 2016. It airs on
Saturdays from 5 to 7 p.m. Central
Time, from the Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minnesota; it is also frequently heard on tours to New
York City and other US cities. The show is
known for its musical guests, especially folk and traditional musicians, tongue-in-cheek radio drama,
and relaxed humor. Keillor's wry storytelling segment, "News
from Lake Wobegon", was the show's best-known
feature during his long tenure.
