I'm sure Shel Silverstein would have a field day with this

There's a cyst on my wrist.

A ganglion cyst.

It can now join my eye twitch, scaly skin, and fast approaching seasonal allergies as Reasons to Flee in Terror. I expect to have aliens bursting from my abdomen any day now.

According to the Interwebs, this thing is also called a "bible bump" because the folk remedy used to involve smashing it with a heavy book. The current medical wisdom now counsels against smashing body parts with heavy items, as that may actually cause further injury.

Who knew?

Anyone who can write the best Shel Silverstein-like poem (or limerick) about my nasty wrist gets 100 Schrutebucks.
