Be aware that in indiscretion,
You may get a mental collision,
Which can cause self-derision,
Messing up your neurotransmission,
And, without your permission!
Ailments have no obluctation,
You feel that they get oblectation,
You visit your neurosurgeon…
Is life a pseudo-hallucination?
All of our lives are in regression,
You’ve lost your retrocognition,
PN, DVT, no prognostication,
Pharmageddon via your medication?
First Diarrhorea, & next constipation,
Confidence dies, feeling a pigwidgeon,
You think your brain’s an odditorium,
And life has got to be ordalian,
Do you feel different? Quotidian?
Is your social life in desolation?
Struggling with conceptualisation?
Are you livelier, antemeridian?
At noon, do you feel weather-beaten?
Do you get afternoon exhaustion?
Is tea-time your kipping season?
In bed, you can’t sleep for some reason?
Is mental fatigue the causation?
Or is it your body’s erosion?
Does the world seem dystopian?
Suffer from sanitary & sanity deterioration?
This is often just an old-age condition,
Do you think an interruption, a disruption?
Have you yet visited a psychometrician?
Does Earth need a reconceptualisation?
Do you believe in reincarnation?
Don’t expect a new life to be utopian!
Holidaying in the toilet or the Caribbean?
Has life been riddled with Damnification?
Was it spent in the lower echelon?
Do you suffer self-expostulation?
Do you know Earth’s nearing extinction?
This is not a joke or effutiation…
On this, I stake my reputation,
Do you feel an antiquarian?…
Well, don’t; it might cause acerbation!
It’s now time for an epiphenomenon,
Use your brain & nervous system…
Admit your guilt, write a eulogium,
Shout from Earth’s highest fastigium,
Humankind’s end is undoubtedly not an illusion,
We’ll all be free of intimidation…
Wars, murders, Oligarchs, every politician,
The greed, hatred and the odium,
Dead, we’ll all be egalitarian!
No way get a world-peace installation,
Well, this is my prediction…
It won’t bear too much contradiction…
Life’s events timewise, socialisation…
Birth, drugs, sex, physician, mortician,
Even if this gives you the impression…
That I’m suffering from depression!
It’s good to see the back of discrimination!
I believe this is mostly speculation…
Of course, it’s all theorisation,
Moulded to bring frivolity & jollification!

05:20hrs: I rose fumblingly from the hospital bed, trapping the nocturnal catheter bag on the remote bed adjuster, and gave Little Inchie a hell of a tug. This started Inchies’s fungal lesion bleeding; it bled on the quilt, down my leg, and onto the carpet.
After I sorted out the mess, I went to the wet room to empty and wrap the catheter pouch that had been removed.
After months without a stubbed toe, I gave myself a second one in two days, on the same ingrowing toenail, as yesterday.
Then, I took a regulation photo of the morning view from the kitchenette window. Well, I got two.
Luckily, next, I had just nipped into the wet room to check I’d not left any taps running and found
Shepherd’s warning!
flowed again! I finished shaving and got the PPs on.
I also touched up the Fungal Lesion, using the
Carer Joe did the first call. I forgot to mention that Friday was the change-the-catheter bag day.
I booted the computer, an spent the nexy three hours farting about trying to get the photos to save to file. I did the first four, and there was no problem. Then it stopped saving. The usual cCleaner routine; I had to do it six times today! That didn’t help. So, I turned everything off and back on again. That proved an idiotic thing to do, well, not that actually, but forgetting to save the ode I was partway through writing was stupid!
At least
I was still trying to sort out CorelDRAW and the photos, and a series of
I got some stuff I can’t remember ordering. And somehow I believed I’d ordered some tinned baked beans and tomatoes, none came. It will be better when Carer Joe starts helping with the food ordering. I can’t be relied on, know it, and am incapable of anything that involves numbers, dates, concentration or logic.
The Social Services lady rang to ask how the new Carers were doing. Last week, I wondered if there was any chance of help getting me out shopping rather than the mistake-ridden online routine. The Carer said his boss said no chance. But the Social Lady told me they are giving me an extra hour (Still got to pay for, of course) for domestic and/or shopping assistance. Going slowly senile is a horrible thing, cause you know it, don’t want it, and can do nothing about it. I suppose it’s a little bit like my sex life, nonexistent. Hehehe!
Carer Ahram made the last two calls. He was in a good mood, bless him. The communication was complex, but I like the lad. When she rang, I told the Social lady that he’s likeable and willing. Without Carer Joe, I might have cracked up last week. His help was invaluable to me.
The trouble is that I can no longer understand written instructions and don’t know any computer jargon, and I get more confused.

I never thought I’d ever read a poem where toilet and Caribbean where paired, hilarious. stubbed in-grown toes are the most excruciating. I had some of my nails permanently removed – o happy day.
Cheers, mate. So glad to here you had the pesky nails off. I’m on a list to have mine done. I think I’ve been on this list for four years?
So glad you saw the funny side to the ode. Cheers!
Hello my Darling! I have a grand suggestion for you! Put up only two pictures a day on your blog and you can take it easy! You spent about 8 hours (at least) I know we have to accept a lot of loss of ability and then have a harder time understanding technology way beyond our ken! But, today while out to lunch with four ladies I went to highschool with – I used my phone to pay my bill! I found out how to turn on my camera and use it to read the barcode on the bill and then pay it right from my bank account which is set up on the phone too! As for pictures- you can use the phone for a camera and sharing them is easy as pie and also the technology is so far beyond the Corell, etc. that anybody can do it! Your digital camera has upload able pictures but the current – or even the decade old stuff is far friendlier. You have way out of date Apps and maybe you would do so much better if you get an I phone (about 5 yrs old even) for a low price and start working with it! The carers will know all about this and can help you readily where your old equipment and processors are dinosaurs! I hated to give in on this too, but now that I have, I’m very happy and see the ease it actually brings me.
Inchy, the fact that you could hear the clock ticking made me so happy. I think hearing issues are so isolating. Billums does it on purpose most of the time for tuning me out! haha! I am spoiled though – as the care givee with he the care giver (as in making me a strawberry icecream cone! Last night my sister was over and she made me a root beer float! I don’t know if you have that in England – but it is root beer with a scoop of vanilla ice cream dropped in. The root bear foams up with the vanilla and you can eat the ice cream with a long spoon and use a straw to drink the foamy root beer! I think I’m going to make another one now!!! Well I lost 40 pounds so what the heck! Love and hugs to you my darling. Think about buying a used phone!!! Or an iPad!!
I shall do that my petal, if the computer lets me. Good idea HRH Lisa. I like the idea of a root-beer-float. I might look into that in summer, sounds good, never heard of it though. It does sound interesting Petal-Dove. ♥♥♥
Thanks sweetheart! 💎 💛 🍷
Another tough day, but I’m glad you made it through, Gerry. Keep up the good work, as best you can. 💖🙏
Sunday was feast of Whoopsiedangleplops, Tim.
I’ll press on regardless, blessing you! 👍
