Sort of Struck Down

orchidee



This is not the same angle as a poem

By Goldfinch on here recently

But we've been ill here - or recovering

Life's 'on hold' or partly

I been unwell

And not well enough to visit someone else in hospital

It's gone round the household

In one form or another

 

Me singing's dried up

Aww! Why ya say?

'Good, as least you won't be singing!' (lol)

Though there's some Psalms

That are not very praise-y

But expressions of troubles, miseries

Pains, illness, utterly downcast, etc

Yet still trusting, hoping, in the God the Psalmists pray to

 

There's the saying:

There's often someone worse off than you

'Tis so, though our problems are no less real

I heard a horror story

A guy got a flesh-eating bug on his leg

Three days later he had to have the leg off

Oh woe!

    I do hope you are getting better, orchi - I do like having a good sport to bounce off occasionally.

    PS: half of the cast in your video looked like they perhaps could be AP's hound - wasn't a collaboration, was it?

        😂'Husky Howlers Club' At first I thought you were having an alliterative joke of your own AP, but a brief visit to Prof Google convinced me otherwise... No wonder you are always awake and contributing here - the howling hound must keep you at it.... LOL
