  • UFC - erm...??! May 26, '11




    I started writing this as a UFC challenge god knows how long ago, but never got it finished. A 26-line poem, with each line flowing through the alphabet. I found it this afternoon, going through an old notebook - I'd got as far as Q before quitting. ;)

    Anyway, I just finished it. Yay me!

    ~*~*~

    Aging. Insidious, surreptitious.
    Before you realise -
    Changes in health.
    Do you seek
    Evidence? Look out
    For new symptoms?
    Got these lumps,
    Hiding under skin
    Inside my body.
    Just "nothing" lumps?
    Killer cancer cells?
    Like to know?
    My mind thinks,
    No, not really.
    Or do I?
    Posing the dilemma.
    Questions, queries. Querulous.

    Right! Be brave!
    See the doc.
    Testing, testing, testing.
    Ultrasound shows "debris",
    Very little else.
    Why the worry?!
    Xylophones are too tinny. I like glockenspiels better.
    (YOU do better??! LOL!)
    Zeebers is coming!!
