Perpetual Motions.

I know I shouldn't have it, but just one piece won't hurt.

I certainly won't have more than one I'll tell you that for cert.

Bye eck though, that was nice, maybe just one more.

And just that little tiny one at the bottom that I saw.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I haven't felt as good today as I did yesterday.

I've no idea why that should be, I really cannot say.

I'm very careful what I eat and very rarely stray.

I know that if I don't do that, there is a price to pay.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today I'm feeling really bad and wish that I was dead.

I'm now so weak and poorly that I can't get out of bed.

The doctors been to see me and just can't understand.

Cos following his instructions I should be feeling grand.

________________________________________________

Gradually I get better, much to my relief.

I won't be eating that again that caused me all that grief.

I'm feeling really fit now, my old self once again.

Fully fit and healthy that's how I'll remain.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know I shouldn't have it, but just one piece won't hurt.

I certainly won't have more than one............Ad infinitum.

What did u eat...I'm on tender hooks?

[Hidden in reply to SquirrelsHolt]

Who me? Not all my rhymes are autobiographical you know. 🙄

[sassy59]

Fantastic Don. Xxx

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

I bit more recycling I'm afraid, but it was a year ago and I was using a different name then. 😎

[sassy59 in reply to Hidden]

😘😀👍

[chubby2x22]

Very true Don. I just cannot leave dolly mixtures alone. I know they are no good for me but they jump off the shelf, land in my trolley so I have to check them out. Lovely.

[Whitechinchilla in reply to chubby2x22]

Oh and I thought it was just me that happened to.

[Hidden]

A little of what you fancy doesn't always do you good.😧

[Sandyeggo in reply to Hidden]

Ain’t that the truth!

[HungryHufflepuff]

Oh so true! Why do we do that to ourselves 🙄 Another great rhyme thanks Don 😄

[skischool]

Master Po

yesterday you said you were getting buried,under an apple tree

Now today you say you've been recycled ,perhaps your taking the pee

It matters not to me and Scruff's and the rest of the clan

Cos we all love your poems and we will always be your fan

Keep em coming dear Don

Ski's and Scruff's xx

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

I shall do my very best to not leave you in the lurch.

Unless I get a full time job as a gargoyle on a church.

The cancerous skin on my ears and nose will guarantee a place.

Unless I can remember to put this ointment on my face.

[skischool in reply to Hidden]

I knew we could all rely on Don

The man who keeps on keeping on

Though diagnosed with a scabby nose

He always keeps us on our toes

And worry not about those ears

We have no need for silent tears

Our favourite bard and daily rhymer

Don't do that bad for an old timer

Now it's time to go to bed

The cat is fed and i am dead(tired)

Ski's and a sleeping cat xx

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

Bravo! I can see that those new transistors, or whatever it was you had inserted, are working really well!😃

[skischool in reply to Hidden]

Alas dear Master Po,if the new Bling was working as well for my lungs as it is for my cyber pen i would be a happy man. but i can't complain as i am well enough to still enjoy your talents.

Ski's and Scruff's x

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

I'm sorry to read this Skis, there must surely be light at the end if the tunnel, all-be-it being a long one?

[skischool in reply to Hidden]

Unlikely now but i have a quick meeting with the main man in a fortnight and i shall see what he has to say or at least negotiate a refund.

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

I remember having to grind in new valves when working on my car engines. I bet I have some grinding paste in my garage if he's run short.🧐

[skischool in reply to Hidden]

I think i need more than a re-grind Don,perhaps a reconditioned head or some new piston rings would have been a better deal. thanks for the offer though.

[Sundance115 in reply to skischool]

Now ski don't go upsetting Dr. B

[Hidden in reply to Sundance115]

I think Dr. B will need upsetting if he's messed up Mr.Ski. 😧

[skischool in reply to Hidden]

Ironically my procedure was bought forward by 2 weeks to accommodate Dr B having his own procedure,i wonder if he's nicked my lungs for himself?

[Sundance115 in reply to skischool]

Well he sure didn't nick your sense of humour

[Sandyeggo in reply to skischool]

Good one- you too a rhyming fool? Or just the fool part?LOL, how are you feeling about your new valve job? Or better how’s Scruff doing with her tablet?

[Sandyeggo in reply to Hidden]

If this one is the autobiographic kind it sounds as if you tend to forget your Efudex cream( that’s name of it here in USA) it’s for the basal cell skin cancers. They don’t ever give me that stuff they come at me with knives or that cylinder of dry ice OUCH-yes that was me I SAID OUCH! Dang nobody ever listens

[Hidden in reply to Sandyeggo]

No this is Solaraze 3% gel (Diclofenac Sodium 3% w/w) which seems to work well enough when I remember to put it on. I have so many other procedures to do to keep me alive it's too easy to forget some. I work on the principle that if it's for an ailment that isn't going to kill me before I die of old age, then it isn't important. I forgot to factor appearances into my principle.

[Kittykat2]

What a great Rhyme was convinced near the end would know what you had eaten .....obviously not ...........going by your other posts too.

Loved it 👍🏻X

[Ergendl]

Guilty as charged!

[Lyd12]

I'll tell you my weakness if you'll tell me yours -

LIndt dark chocolate, Orange Intense, just perfect.

[MoyB in reply to Lyd12]

Mars bars! xxMoy

[skischool in reply to Lyd12]

Green & Blacks velvet fruit,at least the outside bit.

Ski's x

[Hidden in reply to Lyd12]

Walnut Whips before they started messing about with them. 😊

[Lyd12 in reply to Hidden]

They were lovely once and as you say they went downhill. Time to bring them back in a quality version.

[Thepainterswife in reply to Lyd12]

Dark chocolate Bounty , when I can get hold of them they’re like gold dust! . x

[MoyB]

Oh dear, Don, that sounds awfully like what happens in our house. Just the one...! xx Moy

[Izb1]

Ha!ha! Another one of your excellent poems Don, we can all relate to this, keep making us smile xx

[stamford1234]

Ha ha ha! Hope you are better now

[Hidden]

Who's a clever boy then? Love it! 😂😂 xx

[Whitechinchilla]

Brilliant.

That happens to me too!!

[Hacienda]

Excellent Don, No need to ask, we all have that inner craving. Not only do I look forward to your Rhymes, I am now looking forward to the Response Rhymes from the "Maestro"(of other "Things") , that is Ski's. Happy Sunday You Naughty Boy, Glad your Better. XXXX

[Shirleyj]

Love it x x😁😁😁

[Polly4acre]

Don, I know what you mean. I have been watching a programme about 600+ lb. people and bariatric surgery and I found myself eating my husband's Jaffa Cakes all the way through, don't even really like them either. Polly X

[Dilly2]

Hi Don Rhymer love reading your posts always brings a smile to my face xx

[majji in reply to Dilly2]

..... and hopefully to your lips Dilly 2 .....

[Sharp5Flat13]

Love it, Don.

[Kristicats]

Date and walnut cake?

[HungryHufflepuff]
