PUTTING ON THE NURSES

I can't remember---!
Did she say I had a sense of humor,
or no senses at all?
Radiation Nurse thinks I drink too much coffee.
Help me from not getting up so late at night,
Asked, "How are you doing on the coffee?"
I said, "Great I like to grind my own."
This when she rolls her eyes.
"I have a pot in the morning but only 12 oz cups
the rest of the day." This is when she chastised me,
"Have you changed your diet, last week was Chinese food?"
"What did you have last night?"
"Chinese food with hot yellow mustard. and dark chocolate."
Actually I had prime rib but don't like to brag and skipped desert.
She rolled her eyes again.
I said, "We are also dealing with that sinus
condition, and I am trying to learn a new language."
I cut my coffee back and am learning to like water.
Now that I can put ice and bourbon in it.
She rolled her eyes again.I know she is thinking is he serious?
