Lingering a Little Longer.

"Come in now old Mr Don"

I hear Grim Reaper cry

"You've had much more than you are due

It's time to say good-bye"

Well that is true I can't complain

I've had much more than most

I'm sure I won't be sent upstairs

I'll finish down there as toast

I nearly went a couple of times

When my breathing gear gave way

But good friends here on HealthUnlocked

All showed me how to stay

I've made my Will and packed my bag

All ready to make track

But here on this lovely forum

My friends keep dragging me back

[Katinka46]

Yup. We do and will continue to do so.

And so will Midge.

No slacking, get that pen out and keep on keeping on.

Love and hugs

Kate and Zebra xxx 💕🦓👵🏻💐

And send him back to hell.

Very clever reply. 😉

[sassy59 in reply to Whitechinchilla]

Thank you . Xxxx

[Croydonia]

You must stay for a long time Don, your poems are so entertaining, I don’t know what we’d do without our daily dose of wit!

[Carnival567]

Keep on going dear Don, you are such an inspiration xxx

[Whitechinchilla]

And so we will Mr. Don.

You are part of my daily medication regime, supplied to keep me in good spirits and many other folk here too I know.

Long may you last. 😉😉x

I thought Southport was only famous for the fact that the tide never came in Master Po but i reckon you will see it ebb and flow for some time to come and still keep us entertained and smiling.

S&S x

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

Now you’ve let my secret out of the bag! I’ve been boasting that I had one up on King Canute for for donkeys years.😟x

[Kittykat2]

We all look forward to your rhymes Don Im sure there will be loads more to come❤️X

[Pantani]

You cant go anytime soon Don, your poems brighten my day, though this one is very thought provoking.. As usual I read it to my wife, she thinks you and your poems are amazing and you should publish them.👍

[Hidden]

Thank you but I get enough satisfaction out of posting them here. I know that they remain on the database here for anyone to search for if they so wish and I never (or rarely) lock them. That does it or me. 😉

[SquirrelsHolt]

Oh yes Mr.D,drag you back we will indeed do....you've got plenty of rhymes left in you and it's rude not to share each and everyone with all your loyal fans here!

[hypercat54 in reply to SquirrelsHolt]

Exactly! x

[hypercat54]

And we will continue to do so my friend. What would we do without our bard to cheer our days? ✌💖✔ x

[HungryHufflepuff]

Don't you be going anywhere anytime soon Don, unless it's in your campervan with Midge and Dolly.

[Patsy164]

Don without your ditties we would be lost. Keep well for all our sakes x

[Izb1]

Your going nowhere my friend, what would I do without your poems to make me laugh/cry, we need you here on this site far too much to let you go, the grim reaper I'll knock his bloody head off x

[SORRELHIPPO]

I need the giggle I get from your poems, also the grim reaper is capricious, I was very ill and supposed to die before my husband, he was fit and well, stone me, he went in 2013. Someone muttered in my hearing (at the funeral!!) "only the good die young" so (if I can be rude) maybe you have many years yet! My excuse for misbehaving.

[Hidden in reply to SORRELHIPPO]

🤣 That was very naughty. My wife was always a lot fitter than me and you are right about the Grim Reaper. I'm wondering if he works for the NHS?

[Nicholatracy]

Whatever it takes to keep you here 🐞

[joyce74]

And will carry on dragging Don, keep up the fight

[Catnip]

I don't do poems but love yours. Just keep writing!

Catnip

[Jomo46]

Don’t you dare, we need you to lighten our day

[Shirleyj]

Your not going anywhere 😘

[Hidden in reply to Shirleyj]

No Miss, right Miss! 🙄😘

[majji]

Not too sure about the dragging Cap'n - may I suggest the use of say, a wheelbarrow? There is of course the oft anticipated telegram from the Queen or King Charles which would look rather fetching taped to your glamorous mode of transport so please unpack that bag - by the way is it fireproof? So sorry no rhymes today, can't quite manage to think Brilliant responses from the crew as always.
