Hypertension
not to mention
higher cholesterol

Stress?

I would think the older one got
the less one got it

sadly not so.

I go amongst the meek and mild
a happy child but wild inside where
mustangs range and ride
under my skin,

breathe, hold, release
repeat
until the voices cease.

yeah,
that'll work well won't it?
when you're ******* in dioxins,
toxins,
we're just rocks in
the pond and sinking, I'm
fond of saying it and
don't you know it,

London in its abandon has
abandoned me,
shoddy practise from the Metropolis
where they're adept at
*******,

did I mention hypertension?
a thousand phobias and 'isms,
spasms and a constant tic
it
makes me sick

Doctor's on the missing list
have missed me off the patient list
and
now I really am *******, but
it's Sunday and a day of rest
I'll try my best to smile and say
have a happy day today.
Early worms fool the birds.
