A handbag. (Warning - a nonsense poem.)

16 Replies

COPD's a bugbear,

You need much extra stuff.

Pills, tablets and inhalers.

Incase you need a puff.

I never thought I'd see the day,

When I'd buy what I've just bought.

I had to do it secretly

So I would not get caught.

My friends would never understand.

That I really had a need.

And that got really pressing

So I've finally taken heed.

What is this thing that causes

For me so much distress?

The hint is when my friends shout out.

DOES IT MATCH YOUR DRESS!!! :-o

😂😂😂 Excellent Don, and accurate! My handbags are getting bigger, lol. Trouble is, with my arthritis, I'm struggling to carry them! 😆 XXX

I need a bag like that for my asthma meds

I currently have a hospital bag which is literally falling apart

Where is your one from ??

I need a med bag that size if you have any recommendations for bags that I could find online that would be handy

Men's Canvas Shoulder Messenger Rucksack, Amazon £9.99, loads of compartments for your junk. With a walking stick in one hand and the dogs lead in the other I needed a shoulder bag. Backpacks are too vulnerable

Love it. Looking forward to the collected works. Before she died Vashti was collating a lot of pieces of writing from the members. She would have insisted on yours.

Great poem, Don! It brought a great smile and a good start to the week. My husband doesn't have to carry meds but had to buy a bag last year as his wallet and change kept pulling his shorts down! Now I don't know what kind of vision that's just conjoured up - I'll leave you with it to figure out. Maybe he should unload his pennies more often!

in reply to MoyB

I know exactly what your husband's problem was, that's what decided me to look for a bag. My hips seem to have disappeared over the years, yet most casual trousers are now of the 'hipster' kind. In past years trousers used to fit comfortably under the armpits. ;-)
