What A Culture Shock!Well I guess it comes to pass, That we see things in the light of day! And get a culture shock! Well, my culture shock came my way! Now I have this hole in my head, Cos I had 2 tumours don't ya know! And though I know that it's there! This hole is not on show! (Well, not much anyway)! Yep, and it's quite a size ya know! In the beginning I lived in dread! Cos as you could imagine, If I bang it, I can easily be dead! But as through life I tarried, I forgot about it along the way! Others, not so, cos they all go sick, Every time I get in the car; every day! I see my mum cringe each time, In case I smack it on the car roof! But I just don't give it a thought, And I guess my attitude is the proof. You see, though at first, well, for many years, If I have to tell it, I'll tell it true! I was terrified of it, I really was! Well let's be honest, wouldn't you? I mean to say, I've got no plate there, Yep, just skin covering me poor old brain! It gave me epilepsy for flip's sake! And I've never been the same! As I fitted and wobbled all over the place, You would oft see me on the floor, And everyone went sick, and passed a brick! Cos they couldn't take no more! But then as I say I got used to it, It didn't bother me at all, Well, of course, it did, a bit! Especially if I had a fall! So on through life I plod, Subconsciously protecting this head, I mean to say, at the end of the day, I don't wana be dead! Then I had a fall just recently, And wow, what a culture shock! Cos I smacked this head, oh woe is me! I hit the floor like I'd hit a rock! So off to the hospital for an x-ray, On me poor head and spine! Oh, did I forget to mention it? About these bones and spine of mine! Well, briefly I will fill you in a bit, You see, my spines is knackered, and bent, Twisted and misshaped, Yep, I guess it was Heaven sent! You see, He made me really tough ya know! And I guess if you knew the trials in my life, You would agree, that I'm a miracle, To survive all this serious strife! So anyway, where was I up to? Oh, yep, this x-ray that I had, I warned them; I said I've a hole in my head, Did they listen? Nope, they thought I was mad! So I smiled myself a little smile, Of course, as only I could do! I mean to say, at the end of the day, They would soon know it was true! I had it done, the x-ray thing, Then I had to go back to the doc, And blimey oh riley, she put in on the screen And she almost died of shock!! Saying that, I got 'my' culture shock! Cos though I know that its there, I'd never seen it before… And it gave me quite a scare! Then she put my spine one up, And that was knackered too! In fact, I really did feel ill! When I saw it, and didn't know what to do! Well, knowing it's twisted and bent and stuff, It's a world of difference seeing it too! I went sick, and sat and stared… Didn't quite know what to do! The doc turned to look at me and said; ‘Well, you know it's riddled in arthritis and stuff!' Well yep, I did, but I have to admit, By now I was feeling rather rough! So I gazed upon these x-rays, And decided on my action plan, From now on, no more flippancy from me, More, I will protect myself however I can! I'm now careful getting in and out of cars, And make sure I don't bang my head, Watch the spine, cos that's not fine, Cos I wana live, don't wana be dead! So I guess I now accept I have problems, Well, don't we all I hear you say! Of course we do, of course… But you should see my body this day. It's knackered, it's agony I'm in!! It's also very twisted and a mess! But this I tell you true, oh yep! If I didn't need a chair! You'd never guess! Cos I hide it well!!! I hide it good! So you see, No-one knows, Just as it should be! Cos I look normal, like everyone else you see! What can I say? I'm alive!!! Damn, but its all gud innit! Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
