I know an old lady who swallowed a fly.
I don’t know why
She swallowed the fly.
Perhaps she’ll die.

That old lady went to a doctor nearby,
And asked him to try
To get rid of the fly.
So she wouldn’t die.

“Old lady,” the doctor replied with a sigh,
“To find this fly
I have to rely
On an MRI.”

“But first you must swallow a special dye,
That is made with some
Gadolinium.
The dye will allow the MRI
To find the fly
That is hiding inside.
So you won’t die.”
