Poor Git

Neville

Poor Git

 

Ha ..

He only managed half a laugh

On that occasion  

But ..

And look, it’s a BIG BUT

He was forced to give a cough

Or two instead

Before completing

What he had set out to do

And of course

Before it became

An eventual chore

Listen...

Another cough in the making

Half-hearted this time

And politely as per

The official manual

On Cross contamination

HMSO 2020


Then

Just before the angel hit

He thought she handed him a

Rainbow

The Coroner later said

His heart and eyes held out

It was his lungs that let him down

Poor git …

      I guess it’s an unwritten secret.... are they still talking to you and if so... try doubling the dose... πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

      The sadness of life's endings. Life must be a physical symphony for all our organs or the percussion stops.

      • Neville


        a truer word was seldom writ... they can't all be love songs can they DA....

          I am in awe of your second sentence, as it speaks volumes to me.

        • Fay Slimm.

          The speed which cross contamination can hit is expertly poemed in this short but powerful verse - - the whole account sounded to me like someone you knew Nev - but then that maybe not true for your pen is adequate to write appealingly mere imagination. Whatever - - the read had such a compelling dose of poignancy.........x

              No serious subject, so fluently expressed.

              • Neville


                a serious subject demanding respect, thank you Suresh, you are most kind...
