Doctors' orders -- do you follow them?

ahh..yes, the answer to life is 42, and the fun is, of course, figuring all the variable questions that could arise.....and don't forget your towel

The enemy within will kill you one day

no need for a Doctor or a Priest at the bed

the potions and pills won't take pain away

the life that we live is not the one when we're dead.

I once knew a Lassie and her name was Flossie

she told me she loved me and then changed her heart

She came across nice but I thought she was bossy

and then came the day when we had to part.

The good Doctor said it's love that you need

for it cures all ills and makes you feel young

I sat up in bed and YES I agreed

and then a young nurse adjusted my thong.

But that nurse was male and I am no Homo

I prefer nurses that smell like a rose

we'll dance on the ward to Perry Como

and after I'll love her until I overdose.

Oh why did you hurt me with your words of cruelty

a diagnosis is something that we all will get

Remember I'm sorry it's because I love you

I don't want to lose you or for you to forget.

I once had the silliness of desperation to let myself be referred to the miles-away

allopathic M.E. expert, who promptly CONFISCATED an article I showed her about

treatment/ s for M.E. in Australia and the U.S.A. (The U.K. only dishes out

anti-depressants to which M.E folk are allergic!, so I still fail to comprehend / get too suspicious re what the entire

consiltation was about).

She insisted I undress and the nurse

whom I asked to help me looked as though I`d asked her to pay off my mortgage, and sourly helped.

The queen of medical M.E. then asked about my sexual `orientation`. I hedged.

Then, sternly, "How often do you orgasm?"

"Are you joking? A half-decent orgasm would wipe me out for a month!"

Her report for my pension, lost me a lot of money.

Still, as I`m wiped out anyway.....I agree with Ski. :D - he`s right on.

I will hold forth upon this when I`ve more energy LOL

Personally, after that write, don't think you chould worry about li'l misspellings! ;) But y'DO need to be careful of the self-deprecation; no one's right for everyone! Why the search can sometimes be long and emotionally harrowing! But your right heart will win out, I believe!

enjoy your excesses. the years they cost come off the back end, not the front end. the difference between living to 69 and 75. not like it cost you 22 to 27. those years would be worth conserving.

glad to see you writing.

Are you having an apple a day?

As for who would want an older man...

well my friend, you may be surprised.

It's that or a 'toy-boy'...lol

Either way...seize that moment...x

OH...Good poem too!

I totally empathise.

"This may be a tad cold and momentarily uncomfortable"= total invasion of a private place where delicate tissue is stretched and bruised....talk about euphemism.

Please explain to me why some here have an avatar which seems to include strange scribblings?

I don't want to indulge any self-destructive whims you have built up, but it IS your life, to fry or to try.

I prefer to try, but I tend to back-slide when I get around a bag of potato chips.

Thanks for sharing.

We (I) missed you sir. Please don't scare us (me) like that a-gain. Actually, just thankful you are all right lil bro.

Tell me some of the things you think about when you play the base. Of course, when I hear you play, I think of things like sheep, candies, fresh little candies. Can you tell us that?

I ate hot dogs and burgers yesterday.

And God forbid tap water.

bye...
