Oh , Meniere's , my darling , you are so true , to me .

You're my constant companion , that , costs me , SO dearly .

You're like an old belated lover that cannot, ever let go .

I 'd like to say "I love you ." but you know that is'nt so .

You stalk me in my waking hours and even in my sleep .

I nearly gave up , one day , for your companionship , I did'nt want to keep .

I wish I reeled with passion at your hardened loyalty .

Perhaps if you were'nt so visual and others could not see ,

The times you whisk me off my feet and put me on my back,

Horrendous attacks of vertigo , alack , alack , alack .

It would not be so bad if you left my balance, all alone .

Folk think I'm just an inebriated , dizzy old crone .

The vomitting reminds me of early morning sickness .

I'm always surprised at your speciality of quickness .

The element of spontaneousness is really quite alarming .

When you visit me in public , folk sarcasticly say "How Charming!"

You tried to stop me dancing by throwing me off balance .

On my good days I don't miss a chance,

To rock and roll and reel .

I hate you , you hardened lover for the dizzyness I feel .

You think that you control me and sometimes , you can do , just that .

But just like all the other Men that have treated me like a twat ,

I'm not going to let you beat me and steal my dignity .

I carry no end of humour and you won't stop me , being me !

When I'm laying on the floor and I'm laying so supine .

I concentrate on loving scenes of loving folk of mine .

Appreciating the good days when you are abscent by your leave .

I live life to the full and my sanity , I retrieve .

Strangers in the night , that night , may never come .

I'll see you in my dreams and next time you land me on my bum .

I'll laugh and smile and think , he's here again , my dizzy , old chum

Such is life , for some !
