Worse Than it Seems In a hospital hallway on stretchers they lay, These two little four year old boys, At the long wait outside the operating room, Their confidence it slowly destroys. One little boy Jimmy said to young Bill, ‘Why have you got to go in here for an op’, He answered by saying he nearly cut off his thumb, When he played with a knife in Dad’s butcher shop.’ He added by saying, ‘It’ll take fully three months Before I will be able to once again use my hand,’ Little Jimmy said, ‘that is something I once done myself, Yes, it really is something I can quite understand.’ Billy then said, ‘What are you in here for,’ Jim answered, ‘Circumcision, in an awed tone of fear,’ Billy said, ‘I had that the day I was born And I couldn’t walk for a year.’ Lindsay |

This is funny, Lindsay. Sounds kind of like my story. I was born with not one but two club feet and recieved one of the first successful operations at the time and couldn't walk for a year. Ida |

This truely explains why girls walk before boys, (and always do, We call it Being a gentleman,) Now we understand the cause of this ritual. I marvel at your poetry, and wonder; What on earth made you think of THAT? Then usually laugh my Butt off. Thanks for another fine one. Tracey |

Passing Shadows, Susan, Ruth, Bobby, Ida, Tracey, Helen, Kacy, James, David and Fizzle, you are all great friends to pop in and give me a kind response. It makes me very happy to see all your smilig faces. That is what makes writing humorous poems so satisfying. God bless each and every one of you. I love you all. Take care. Lindsay |
