Oh Glory Me, What A Shock!


I have to go for many check-ups,
To the hospital for this and that,
And it's usually always a new problem,
Well blow me down, and knock me flat!
I saw my diabetic consultant this week,
Oh, he's a really lovely man,
And yes, I have to admit it,
I think I am his number one fan!

So I sat there nice before him,
And smiled sweetly as I do,
But what he said next just floored me,
And I didn't quite know what to do!
‘You've got problems with your kidneys,
And they are not working very well,
So we have to get you on more meds,
Cos it's giving your kidneys hell!'

So I sat a little flummoxed…
Gob-smacked actually,
I couldn't get over the shock,
And what he'd just said to me!
So then, I sat and had a think,
About what this problem meant!
And I have to be quite honest,
It sure isn't Heaven sent!

This diabetes thing, I hate it!
It has to be the worst affliction!
Everything is effected it seems!
It's causing my body such friction!
My livers already knackered,
My heart is also a mess,
But, I have to be quite honest,
To look at me you'd never guess!

That's of course if you don't count the wheelchair,
Cos I think that's a dead give-a-way!
Cos after all, when said and done,
It's not like I can hide it away!
Anyway, back to the diabetes,
It made my poor eye bleed,
I lost the sight, oh what a fright!
I think this diabetes has such greed!

Cos it wants a bit of everything!
Loves to cause havoc all the time!
So much so, I have to say,
Me body just isn't doing fine!
It knackered all me nerves in me leg,
And the feeling has all but gone!
But I tell you this and I tell you true!
It's never, ever won!

Cos it won't beat me down you know!
That's cos I'm a stubborn little cow!
So I fight the fight with all my might!
Cos it won't beat me, no way, no how!!
So okay, it's knackered me organs,
But hey, it won't ever take my smile!
For like I say, at the end of the day,
I will ALWAYS walk that last mile!!

In smile!!!

In all seriousness now;

If you are a diabetic, don't end up like me!
Make them take heed of you and look after you!
Because had they taken heed of me;
I wouldn't be in such a mess!
This body has and is going through hell!
Through diabetes!!!
DON'T walk this walk I walk!

And never give up the fight!!!
Like me!  
Never say never!
Never give in!
Power to you!
