Little Boxes.

Humans are untidy things,

Who won't do as they're told.

They won't fit in their boxes,

Especially when they're old.

COPD's a useful one

A lot are shoved in there.

But some will say that they don't fit

I don't know how they dare!

Others say that just one box

Is really not enough.

They want to sit in more than one

I tell them "Oh that's rough."

"We can't have people sitting

In just where they wish to be.

Just take this medication,

And we'll sit back and see".

Clever Don, very clever.x

A bit hard on the profession maybe, but I think it's how a lot of people feel.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

From reading the experiences of people on here I would say definitely true when it comes to copd.

[Tilantoe]

Too true don.

Wonderful Don! This has to be one of your best yet. xx

I definitely refuse to get in any box that I am told to. Or insist on at least two. Or three and one for Zebra. I think I feel a cartoon coming on....

Not being a very optimistic person i think the next box i get in will be horizontally inclined though i will do so very reluctantly.

You sound ready to jump in there now! If you are not looking forward to a born-again skischool with brand new valves in November, then I'll do it for you.

[skischool in reply to Hidden]

Well I got poked up the backside with a sharp stick by my friends, the same that I'm doing to you.

[skischool in reply to Hidden]

Not too keen on the up the backside bit?a sharp slap of my wrists will suffice lol.

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

Whatever turns you on. 🙄

Great poem, Don, and I love the banter between you and Skis! xx Moy

[Hidden in reply to MoyB]

That’s all it is Moy, you can’t expect a dog owner to agree with a cat owner on much. But he’s a good lad. 😉🐕🐾

[MoyB in reply to Hidden]

Neither are you! Lol! xx Moy
