Life......

[PixieDust]

Preamble:   This poem is not for tea or sympathy on any level, just a quirky piece of humour on my part.  Sometimes you just need to see the brighter side of life and make tequila with those lemons that land your way.  

 

Life…….

 

Twenty-seven was a golden age

Boy did I dance, boy did I rage

 

In the blink of an eye, it was taken away

Palindromic Rheumatism was on its way

 

Carried on the best I could

But thirty-five I soon stood

 

Destined for the Back Surgeon now

My poor dear back became a cow

 

Surgery had a hitch

It fucked me over and I did bitch

 

Recovery was a thorn in my side

When my legs went very wide

 

Lymphoedema was my fate

Good golly, how did I score this mate?

 

Forty came all to soon

Surely, I still can’t be doomed

 

Rheumatoid made is presence felt

All I did was friggin yelp

 

Forty-six snuck right in

As torn meniscuses made a scene

 

No longer could I walk as such

I Introduced my sexy crutch

 

Fifty-one was at the door

And hell did I but score

 

CREST syndrome jumped right in

A party with chemo was about to begin

 

Fifty-two is all but due

Gosh do I need a cheeky brew

 

Wonder what’s round the corner

Guessing it's going to be a corker

 

Life may give you lemons from time to time

But squeeze those suckers until sublime

 

Find the bright spark within

And tackle life with an awesome grin

 

Keep your humour close at hand

And laugh out loud when you can

 

You never know when your time is up

So have a blast and bloody good luck !!!!!

It can't enough be repeated
A strong mind will never be defeated

Wow my sis 👯‍♀️❤️ no matter how many times I've read this it's just gets better and better (and thank you again for letting me read before anyone else) I know it's coming from a place of humour and I did laugh but I know the struggle you go through day after day. Again my sis fantastic piece of writing 👯‍♀️

Absolutely top class , as is often the case , people who have most right to feel sorry for themselves and have a negative outlook never do , your attitude is a lesson for all of us and with strength of mind like that , nothing will ever defeat you , worth waiting for 😉

Well beautiful Pixie you most certainly try and tackle life head on, and for most part succeed. I know those sucker peanuts often win out though. YOU girl are a beacon of inspiration, because I know at times, life can be very difficult for you. And I do so love your sense of humour.

The salt on the rim of life‘s glass

Is humour - you have it to spare

But next time life puts you on your arse

If you run out, we’ll have some to share

I love this and it is so you. Keep your humor at all times. It’s what makes you special to those who know you and draws in those who don’t.
