COPD

COPD makes you feel low.

But you’re the only one to know.

It doesn’t show that you’re unwell,

And you don't really like to tell.

You meet a friend along the way,

And walk together as friends may.

They’re walking fast you can’t do more

Without collapsing on the floor.

One thing we could do instead,

Is tattoo ‘COPD survivor' on our head’.

Don,change the word sufferer to "survivor" x

Yes, well said - otherwise cool rhyme as usual Don.

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

Thanks, I didn't know how to spell survivor.

i am a copd survivor

at times i need a reviver

My breathing is erratic

but after 2 puffs i,m ecstatic

i,m sorry Don i can,t compete

in the end you had me beat

you are the true bard on this site

may you continue long into the night

love skischool

Hi Don like the poem, I am off to chase the blues with a long weekend in Devon, with a freind who walks as slow as me See you on Tuesday.

[Hidden in reply to katieoxo60]

Lovely, I think you are in for some good weather, ideal for slow walkers. 🐌 😀

[katieoxo60 in reply to Hidden]

Was good weather but had to use inhalers more due to humidity. We had a classic car rally too, plus a firework display, plus victorian parade. Generally very busy weekend enjoyed by all. Yes and I did have to walk slow but at least I can still get out and enjoy what I am able.
