 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

Insomniac!!!


Oh dear me and sugar plumbs,
What a fool I was last night!
I took me morphine pain meds…
But now I look a ruddy sight!
Cos my meds cause me insomnia!
So I also need a sleeping pill!
But I forgot to take the thing!
And now I feel quite ill!

Cos though my pain all vanished,
And my head was groggy too!
I never slept a flippin' wink!
And there was nothing I could do!
Cos in my drug induced stupor,
I really wasn't too sure…
If I took that tablet or not…
So I couldn't take any more!

So I was awake all ruddy night,
And oh woe is me I couldn't sleep!
And just about 4 in the morning,
The daylight began to creep!
So I rolled over to the left,
And rolled over to the right,
I tossed and turned, well, as I can,
But I still never slept all night!!!

And I can't roll over too good ya know!
Cos me bones are all at stake!
Cos I turned over the other week,
And me poor spine bones did break!
And blimey that really hurt!
Yep, I thought I'd fractured it!
But the doctor in the hospital said;
‘No kid, that's not it!'

So I looked at him with terrified eyes,
That's my eyes, and not the doc!
And then he turned to me and then…
I really got a flippin' shock!
‘You aint fractured it Catherine!' He said;
‘But you sure broke bones off the spine!'
Well blimey I really got a fright,
And started crying all the time!

So I asked him what that meant,
And the poor lad said to me;
‘Catherine kid, I'm sorry…'
‘But this pain's now all you will see!'
Well I have to be quite honest here,
I thought he meant just at that time,
And me pain would go back to my usual level,
And once more I would feel fine.

But he told me I had to take my meds,
And not to try and be a hero!
So I laughed and thought; ‘oh well'
‘I'm sure the pain level will go!'
But alas I was wrong;
And that poor doctor was right,
No wonder he looked at me sadly,
Cos my pain is out of sight!

And the ‘don't you be a hero' thing,
Well, he didn't mean just then for the pain,
He meant for the rest of my life,
Oh bless; now I'm in a mess again!
But the harder I fall the higher I bounce,
And so every time I hit the floor,
I don't stay down there for too long!
It's just another flippin' door!

As one door shuts the other door slams,
Oh dear me what can I do?
Well, I just get up and start again!
Well, I guess that you would too!
And every time my pain level rises,
I just get tougher each time,
And once my head is round it,
Once more I'm feeling fine.

********************

And I don't lie too well do I?

Cos agony, is agony, is agony,
No matter how you dress it up…

But hey!!!

We Scousers are made of tough stock!
I'm glad I'm not an oxo though!!!
