I often wonder what I'd do
If I hadn't got COPD
I wouldn't be restricted
I'd be completely free
I'd go for climbing Everest
Or skydiving I would be
Or swimming across the channel
In a very stormy sea
I'd run a daily marathon
And do the fastest mile
I'd do a full months shopping
Without collapsing in a pile.
But if I am really honest
And can remember how
I wouldn't be doing very much more
Than what I doing now
Brilliant as always x
Ha ha, so true
Thanks Don, I'm sure that is how we all Feel, Now Relax and Read again. XXX
To listen to some people, they do that with copd
At 88? Well done them. 😁
You've hit the nail on the head Don. Probably very true! However, I do miss my badminton days. I now look forward to my short walks with my over 60 walking group when Im able. Particularly as we always end up with a meal and chat! Best wishes, Chrys
I've reached the stage were I can't decide whether it's COPD, old age, or just natural idleness that stops me doing things. More often than not it's just the pain from my bad hips.🙄
You maybe 88 Don
But you’re very young at heart,
You manage to get through the days,
And Midge? She plays her part,
Your poetry is wonderful
Always brings a smile
What would we do without you?
Please stay around a while.
Thank you Don, brilliant as always. Xxxxxx
Carole, Dear Carole, You & Ski's along with The " Master Don" should all write a Poem Book , we would all Buy it I'm Sure. Thanks Hun. Love as always. XXX
If you throw yourself out of a plane
People around you will think your insane
Why run so fast there and back
To give yourself a heart attack
Climbing mountains is just plain silly
And up the top it's awfully chilly
That mega shopping trip won't please
Where would you put all those mushy peas
No rest dear Don and take your time
Watching the world go by it is sublime
Lazy Ski's and a sleeping Scruff's x
You really should get these published in a book. xxxx
If you click on my avatar to bring up my profile, then click on posts, you will get a list of them all for free. 🙂 Or do a search on ‘Midge’ and if I still haven’t bored you silly search on my previous name DonR. All for free, why on earth should I bother with a book? 😀xx
My husband enjoys me reading your rhymes out to him, I've even read a few to other members of my family. All of whom prefer a book to reading from a screen. If you did produce a book I'm sure other people on here would be interested.
We should start a survey, find out who would like your book.
You must recite my rhymes very well for them to be enjoyed so I appoint you my official reader. Contact your local radio station and tell them that you have some unpublished poems you could recite for their listeners and don’t do it too cheaply. 😬x There’s no way I’m going to spend my few remaining years/months trying to get a book together, but thank you for the compliment.😘
Well written Don and true wouldn’t we all like to do more. Alas that isn’t possible for some but your lovely verses cheer us up. X 😄
Thats very well written Don .
I would be happy just to be able to clean my house like I used to....... changing the bed is a nightmare have to keep stopping and sitting down but no one else to do it.
💕x
Yes I agree Kittykat2, changing bed a very hard chore, it usually takes me all day as I do it in stages. Joy x
Good one Don
Exactly 😂
Your avatar is the best I’ve seen yet:🤗
Thank you, not my work though but my feelings for life.
It's by an artist called Lena Leitze.
Can find her on Pinterest.
Hundreds of options.
Thank you. 🙂
Reading this made me smile as only yesterday I said to my Hubby. I miss doing all the things I used to. If I didn't have COPD I would still be able to do them and I miss everything. His reply was it's not only the COPD its our age . I dont ever think of my age only my COPD and blame it for everything. xSheila.
Great stuff Don. x
So true!
Ha! Another good one Don to cheer us up, not only from you but Sassy and Skis are good too x
