SUNDAY 28 JUNE 2026
A mix of mellowness and anger,
A twinge of hope? At least an aura,
A moment of acceptable aprosexia,
Questions asked, hoping for an answer,
Made with no guide or adjudicator,
I became a temporary faux procrastinator,
An email of complaint, anger was on amber…
Sent to the NHS, about the Catheter,
Mentioning the cataract & Glaucoma,
I’ve never felt angrier or absoluter,
I’ve never been a greedy acquirer,
Today, I could not have felt shyer,
High-Mood-Horis’ presence felt higher,
Then Depression Darius sank me lower,
Darius or Horis, which was my alienator?
Then, I’d be the apologiser, then appeaser,
Guilt, shame, embarrassment, then felt annoyder,
Recalled the dentist giving me acroanaesthesia,
Or would that have been acroparesthesia?
Either way, it left me with ataxia & aparaprosexia,
Tonight I became even more ambisinister…
With periods of drop-it-no-choice, apraxia,
Still some items on the floor, I used the picker-upper,
My knee gave way; the tendon was very tender,
Went down, hit my head on a cabinet corner,
Cry? Me? I wailed like a yodeller!
My luck stays the same, bad, whatever!
But mentally, I’m whithersoever…
Here, there, gone, coming, whichever,
Weirdly wearier, weedier, woozier,
I’m turning into a whimperer…
If only life could be easier…

Trying to get your catheter and eye problems fixed is the right thing to do, Gerry. I hope you get good results. 🙏
