It's COPD, Jim, but not as we know it.

13 Replies

I went to see my doctor

To ask what's this I've got?

He said asthma and bronchitis

I think you've got the lot.

Because you were athletic

You're pretty nicely lunged

It's the plumbing all around them

That is tending to get bunged.

I've had this apparatus

For nigh on ninety years

The warranty has long expired

So I can't shed any tears.

Well wear and tear Don 🙃

Swimming pool is good enough for me, the water carries me!

Pleased you keep going, and keep writing to 😃

Asthma and bronchitis we can cope with, we know what to do by now,

Have you got meds for the rest of the plumbing? 😉

Because there are plenty of them on the market and if it makes your life and Midge’s easier, no reason to do without!!

Take care x

To be honest, Kate, I think he was making it up as he went along. I probably have a cocktail of things, but at least the spiro thinks my lungs are okay, for their age. :-)

Great poem. I envy you the camper van travels. I've toyed with selling up everything and traveling that way, but to have all my furries in so close with me, I think I'd be traveling from one emergency room to the next. Have to be an armchair traveler these days, damn it!

in reply to TomTitTot

It has been great, Tom, but it’s getting more difficult now. Google Street View is a great way to travel from the armchair when all else fails . 🚐😉

Love it Don, nice to see you're keeping your pecker up (without being rude) against life's adversaries. LLAP.
