Little Victories

Following up with my doctor

with an online message

…this is good, that’s still a problem…

Sharing all the little embarrassments

as we often must, with those

who’ve taken the Hippocratic oath

While composing my missive

I let out a shout of triumph

startling my wife, just a bit

“What is going on?”, she asked

“I spelled diarrhea correctly”, I quickly replied,

“Without spell-check underlining the word

with that damn judgmental red line!”
