she called out my name
and took me out of reception
then sat me on a bed in a
dressed in a smock way too small
they sent me off to sleep
and fed a camera way down
... down down deep inside of me
don't ask me what happened
I got lost inside a dream
where Boots the famous chemists
who after developing my film
enquired on my half digested
jammy donuts filled with cream
and chocolate fudgey biscuits
a rainbow coloured trout
i really had not the faintest idea
how that had come about
Oh Mr Dusk, oh Mr D
now it's time for you to wake
here's your cup of tea my dear
and two biscuits on a plate
You really have done well you know
but it's time for you to leave
We parted in the main car park
there were teardrops on my sleeve.

Ooo biscuits? You went private didn't you
A poor humble pensioner like me go private..... now it's you dreaming. Besides, you can be assured in the National Health Service that your screams and discomforture are being shared among student doctors for the well being of the next generations victims.... ahem, patients.
Yeah. You went private
Best wishes with that D.
Thank you Orchidee. If i hear the angels singing I shall listen out for your very own shrieking.
whimsicality of poetry
exemplified with nonchalant ease
of practised skill, mastery..
such a fun read! thanks Dusk
Visions hard to not see, Dusk. Hope all is well. Mine is 3 years out now.
I can visualize you smiling as you penned this adorably imagery, and gave us a reason to smile as well
this is more than just a bit o fun sir .. this is a lot of fun indeed ... Good luck mate ..
Hoping your hospital visit went well today Dusk and this little anecdote tells as it was and is when being on camera and that you make light of the reason for tea and biscuits is so admirable my friend - - am smiling with a tear in my eye too.
Good fun write d a.
A few years ago I had a serious operation and the thing that struck me as funny is the way the man putting in the anaesthetic changed so quickly into a lady nurse waking me up, those four hours in between were lost from my life.
