“GOOD!” a poem a.k.a.: “The Medical HAUGHTY!” for: July 1st 2019 [Monday]
Body swollen? Joints do ache?
THAT’S-GOOD!-That’s-GOOD! for Goodness’ Sake!
“But, I got-this-stinky-gunk – in my eyes!
And-my-legs-are-too-big! O.M.G., my thighs!”
OH, MY! THAT’S GOOD! That’s-what-IT-does,
A HEALTHY body, just be-cause,
IF IT’S NOT-RE-ACTIN’!! THEN!-you-should-be-“blue!”
Remember: The-Kooky-Zen-Buddhists’ point-of-view:
“Pain’s your friend! Don’t-go: BOO-HOO!
It’s a healthier body, just for you!
It’s what you’ve got – IF you’re re-acting,
TO EVERYTHING! For, The-World’s-‘impacting,’
Your physical ‘defenses’ – in glorious style!
CONGRATULATIONS! So – ALL THE WHILE,
[That]-Your-Body’s-discharging, lookin’ ‘gross?’ and-hurtin’-you,
Just–tell-it-‘THANKS!’ and clean the goo,
Out from your eyes – and pat your thighs,
To thank your body; it’s no surprise,
That so many folks – are heading-to-The-Docs’
To get ‘relief’ – from pain-and-the-pox!”
OR – You could always smile – and hurt a little,
And save your money – and play your fiddle,
And-maybe-save-your-life – by NOT-stressing body,
With pills and things – from The Medical Haughty,
ATTITUDE – that will [often] sug-gest,
They KNOW what’s best – for your chest!
But, H – L L! Their guess – ain’t-no-better-than,
THE SQUEAKING-OF A RUSTY, OL’ FAN!

So, smile and hurt and cuss and curse,
And hold on to your bloody purse,
And save your money – for a nice meal,
At your hospital lunchroom! It’s-a-pretty-good-deal:
Don’t spend your cash – on an exam,
When you-can (for $6 cash) get au gratin (potatoes) and some ham!
“Gosh, you look healthy,” say your friends at The Lunchroom!
“Well, I’ve-been-eating-HERE! (for $6 cash) at-The-Hospital-of-Doom!
And – spending more time OUTDOORS – and at bars,
And no time in a hospital bed – and less time in cars!”
