My Life!Every time I do my readings, I'm always asked the same, Why did you start, why do you do it? But I never tell it's a shame! I always promised to tell my tale, so people, please be quiet! I mean, I don't wana drive you mad and start a ruddy riot! You might be a little bit bored, so I'll make it as fun as I can, I mean, after all, it's me health am talking, and I'm me No1 fan! It started off when I was 19, 2 weeks after am wed! There I was, all trussed up, lying in the hospital bed! Well all me gynae bits, were really up the wall! And you know, it couldn't be helped, they had to take a fall! I'd had 5 ops over the years to try to put things right, But all's not well, and what a shock! Hysterectomy what a fright! Now after the hyst I wasn't too bad, in fact I was really well! I never thought it'd be that good, I was feeling really swell! But I got knocked down by a lorry, a juggernaught actually! Me life all flashed before my eyes, it was just hospitals I'd see! It left me with little old arther, creeping round me spine! Me neck and shoulder, and me leg, I wasn't feeling fine! Then I had a tumour on me poor old brain, They had to remove it, what a shock! It was really such a shame! I was black and blue all over, with big fat puffed up eyes! No wonder there weren't any mirrors! What a bloody surprise! But you see, I was only 21 when I had that first op, I didn't know it could grow again! So I really got a shock! So the bloody thing grew back, not that I knew it could! I never expected to have it again; I think I'll knock on wood! Now things can get you down it seems, if you sit and dwell! But it doesn't do you any good, just fills your life with hell! I didn't wana be depressed, miserable down or sad! I wanted to get on with me life; otherwise it's just too bad! So I put me pen to paper and wrote me little rhymes, They made me laugh they really did, especially on the bad times! Well the writing got out of hand, and I really went off me head! I was writing this, writing that, cos I was glad I wasn't dead! Well after I had the brain op, epilepsy got me down, I didn't know it was gona happen, so I walked around in frown! I lost me driving license, me poor old car had to go! A baldy head, two black eyes, what a bloody show! Then I got cholesterol, me enzymes were up the wall! Me liver was causing me doc' a pain, I was always getting a call! "Come and see me Cath!" He'd say, "We've got a little problem!" I'd go down, he'd be panicking, and I just thought, ‘Oh sod them!' Me liver's dying, me blood is sad, full of fatty lumps, I couldn't believe it, not really, I should be down in the dumps! Then I had this problem upon me poor bashed thigh! They told me am diabetic too, they nearly made me cry! Now me thyroids up the wall, that is why am fat! Thank goodness there's a reason, cos I wasn't having that! Now I've got osteoporosis, me bones are truly kaput! But I have to be quite honest; I've a perfectly good left foot! Next I got angina, me heart's all knackered and diseased! I really have to say it…I should be on me knees! Me arteries are all clogged up, the cholesterol took its toll, So I threw me donor card away, cos am really on a roll! So suffice to say, am knackered, as I think all will agree! My poor doctor's up the wall, he's so upset you see! But I tell him not to worry; or he'll get a coronary! No use getting upset, he should chill out like me! Now if I said it didn't get to me, that would be a lie, I'm being totally honest, sometimes I do cry! But one thing I won't do, I never question why, I just plod on with the lot, cos I really I don't wana die! Well now I'm counting up in numbers, to do with all the tumours! You can have this from the horse's mouth, never mind the rumours! The 1st tumour turned into 2, then that turned into number. 3… And now I'm being greedy, cos I am on No. 4 you see!!!!!! So alas, all's not too well, but I say this from my heart, It doesn't really matter, cos my life and me didn't depart! You see, I am one of the lucky ones, 4 tumours and still here! So to all those who say I'm so unlucky, to me it's very fair… Cos God gives me problems that can be fixed, yep, no matter how! So why on earth do I moan? Cos I shouldn't complain; not now!! Some people only have 1 tumour! Some others may have 2… But most are very unlucky, you see, I survived 4, and not all do! So know this, my words aren't negative; they are strong and true! And if I can survive and never give up, then you can survive too! You see, my body may be knackered, but my constitutions strong! I'll never give in, that way ‘I' win! For anything less is wrong! But there's just one thing I have to add about this bloody tumour! I reckon it's really brain cells see, that gives me all this humour! 1990 1990 to 2008 = Survival!!! Hey, what can I say, I'm on a positive flow!!! ;o) Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
