Pakinson's o!

I’ve got a cold
Andit is making me feel old
Coughing and sneezing
And all manne of wheezing

I don’t deserve to fel like this
This I sthe third tiem since Christmas
An di ache from head to foot
And feel absolutely dreadful
I can’t even be bothered to
Make this rhyme I eally haven’t got the time
Nor the energy required

And now I ts daybreak
Just when I should b e getting up
I’m now going back to bed
Hoping I’ll get some sleep instead.

My head aches and I’ve got psins
And I don’t care what I’m saing
I just hoope this cold
Hurries aaway that is wha I’m raying.

I’m desperate for adrink
Something to bring relief
To a dreadful sore throat
But I don’t hin I can manage the stairs
So I’ll jus thav eto wait.

It’s no good I’m gonna have to try
But witho my meidction
I’m no tready jus t yet ot die.
But if I finish this then ou’ll know
I’ve been successful and wn’t need
For someone to write my epitaph

If it’s al the same to oou
I refer todo it myself.
So her egoes but if this doesn’t get posted
Then you’ll knw I never made it back
Silly moo how wil ou know…

Parkinson’s Oh,yes you get a bit of a shke
Welllthis is the ralityh
And pease don’t tell lme there are plenty of
People worse off than me.It give me no comfort to know
That there are eople out ther who feellworsee than me.

Moya, i enjoyed this little ditty. However I noticed a couple of spelling mistakes! Feellworsee has a "C" in it and not an "S". Apart from that its perfeck. Back to bed with you....

This made me shed a tear Moya, my lovely Dad has Parkinsons I know how hard it is, yet you still manage to come up with these poignant words and make me smile too. Get well soon!

Hello Linda, Thank you so much for your kinds words also. I'm sorry to hear that your Dad has Parkinson's too. I think Parkison's UK is a forgotten charity. Last year myself and two friends organised a dance "Strictly Come Shuffling" and raised £1200 which we donated to research. This Friday we are going to the research facility to see their work. Thanks for your words Linda. Moya

Moya - as you are aware I know exactly what you are going through right now. And yet, you don't need me to tell you that there are days and days with Parkinson's, as my husband is testament to. Tomorrow will be better, you'll see, and in the meantime, hats off to you for writing this poem. It's more than hubby could do today....He's having a bad day as well, if it's any consolation. Tina;-)

Hello SSS Tina, I'm so sorry your husband was having a bad day yesterday too. It's not often I allow it to get to me like yesterday. I think it was a combination of having yet another cold, being in pain and frustration that I just couldn't type. At night my computer is my lifeline but medication having worn off I have difficulty doing anything. Being faced with a sea of red meant so many corrections I just couldn't face it! Thank you for your kind words though, Tina. Moya

I hope you got your sleep, and that you feel better for it!

Hello insert, Yes I did go back to bed and I did feel better but not so good that I could reply to anyone. Sometimes the medication just doesn't seem to work and I am no use to man or beast. I just couldn't seem to hit the right keys. I think if things don't improve I shall have to give up the knife throwing act! I'm still looking for a new glamorous assistant though since word of the accident got out! I'm interviewing all day today should you be interested? Thanks insert for your kind words Moya

And my (91 year old) Dad is hopefully going into a Nursing Home nearer to me today, so Good luck all round to all Parkinsons sufferers. It's a cruel and often misunderstood disease. Well done Moya on your fundraising, and keep writing! I have pages of stuff my Dad started to write before he could do no more, and he has dictated more to me as best he could. Look out for that on here one day too!Linda

I shall look forward to that too, Linda. My husband was diagnosed at the of 53, eleven years ago now, and you are so right, Parkinson's is a cruel and misunderstood condition. I wish your Dad all the best and it will be nice for you to be able to see him more often. Hope it all works out. Tina

Ahh the old knife throwing act. I thought you gave that up ages ago. I remember your first assistant, nice young woman but kept sneezing when she was on the spinning wheel. Her fault for the accident in my opinion. The other 47 assistants were great, RIP all of them. Mind you, your fire eating act is still going strong!

O Jolono that's the first time I have lol (sorry non texters) today!

Linda

Submitted by Denzella on
Jolono, You're right about that first assistant! All charges were dropped though and the other 47 were all willing participants so they couldn't pin anything on me. Still thought it best to switch to fire eating as not dependent on other people! And having fire in my belly has cooked all that humble pie beautifully! Moya

Just pleased you gave up the sword swallowing!

Your surgeon, he said you had taken out your own tonsils!

Well, he didn't have the stomach for it! Have you still got yours? I do mates rates if you're interested!
