Rhymes or Reason

What happened? An accident, or Covid?

The main thing is that you're on the mend now, so I hope you continue to get better. Keep us all informed as to your progress. We can't have you being unwell, what will the rest of us do if you're not around to keep commenting on our feeble efforts to write stuff?

Get well Candy Gal!

Candy Gal,

Any update? How are you feeling now? I hope you're feeling better than on New Year's Eve. You'll have to keep us in the loop or we'll be going frantic worrying about you.

All the best,

BJ

 

All fine now. Yes I tested postive in hospital. But negative now. xxx

Look Get Well Soon Candy

 

OK Candy Gal,

So what did you do exactly that landed you in hospital? A couple of the posters on the 'Get Well Soon' thread mentioned you hitting your head and getting a concussion.

You say yourself that when you were in hospital you tested positive (for Covid I presume), but you're negative now, so I wonder if the test you took then might have been compromised? I remember reading of the curious case of an elderly couple in the US who had identical symptoms. They went to see their doctor and he tested them for Covid, several times! Each time one of them tested positive (the wife I think) and the other tested negative, no matter how many times they ran the test. So the tests aren't infallible, and can consistently give false readings. As to whether the couple had Covid or not I don't think it was actually mentioned, but the fact that they had different results despite suffering identical symptoms was what interested me.

Anyway, be that as it may, you're now on the mend, and if it was your head, I hope you didn't have to use vinegar and brown paper like Jack and Jill did. I reckon the vinegar would give you a headache!

Take care of yourself, you're needed here,

BJ

 

Yes, I collapsed, I think this virus made my heart race, just like one of the vaccines!
Tested positive in hospital, that is routine testing for everyone.
All my family had the virus, but tested negative???
We all isolated anyway.

I asm fine now. xxxx

 

The fact that your family all had the virus but tested negative may be one reason why the Gov't is switching over to the lateral flow test instead of the PCR. In the US they've stopped using the PCR since Jan 1st as they say it's too unreliable.

 

I think they are unreliable.

 

Candy Gal,

I have a question for you. Have you noticed any hair loss from the virus? My wife is now suffering from thinning hair as a direct result of having Covid last October. My son and I haven't had any hair loss, only my wife, so it seems to be something that only affects women. She went to see a wig maker on Monday and was told that the lady is inundated with women asking about wigs as they're losing their hair since having had Covid.

Interestingly, our daughter had Covid in March 2020 and she still has a full head of hair, so I wonder if it's the particular variant you catch that has a bearing on whether you lose your hair or not? I think our daughter and her husband (who also has a full head of hair!) must have caught the first variant of the virus (can't remembe what that was called), whereas I think that my wife, son, and I all caught the Delta variant. Since then of course the Omicron variant has become the major version of the virus and I've no clue as to the long term after effects of that particular version. Who knows, perhaps we'll all turn purple and grow horns?

Hi my lovely.
Not heard of any hair loss.
That is usually to do with hormone imbalance.
PM me for more discussion if you like.

 

Well, what do you know? You don't do you? But I do, and the thing I know is that as of yesterday we've been living in our house for 35 years! 35 years!! That's nearly half my lifespan. If we're still here next January I'll be 72 and we'll have been living here for 36 years, which will be half my lifespan. To celebrate I was going to write a poem, but to be honest I can't think of anything to write, so I won't. Well not now anyway, but who knows, over the next few days I might think of something to grace these pages with, so watch this space!

 

Congratulations darling.
I always love your poems. Xxxx

Shame we lost BJ.

 

Urine For A Surprise!

At night while we are all asleep
Our household items come alive;
Without a sound, no, not a peep,
They gear up into overdrive.
The knives will all start cutting up, (the spoons think they're so funny),
They laugh, so startling the teacups
That they upset the honey.
Who will get the blame, prithee?
I can but make a guess;
Mother will, of course, blame me
For this colossal mess!
I know this all to be the truth,
Though skeptical you might well be;
No, I'm not claiming I'm a slueth;
I SAW them, going by to pee!

 

Wow Thank you x

 

When I feel like writing a rime
I need to take some time
To know what I will write
So it all looks and sounds right
Even if it’s not a poem
That will impress them
Then once they’re done reading
Maybe they’ll be thinking
That this guy sometimes
Knows how to write rimes

 

Up And Ever Onward

Up and ever onward, I see myself and know
The way that I am facing is the way that I must go.
I dare not stop my progress; T'would be a shame, you see
To make a pause, to take a break
In my mobility.
So up, and ever onward I hurry as I try
To get where I am going to,
Not knowing where, or why.
"I'll know it when I get there," I say it with a grin,
And hastily, I check my watch, quite eager to begin.
Up and ever onward, I push myself ahead;
My dad would say there's time enough for resting when I'm dead.
So on and on, I persevere, never seeking slumber.
Time and tide will not give way, nor will my pace encumber.
Up and ever onward, I tell myself again;
I feel that I am coming to what's sure to be The End.

 

Love Among, Well, Everyone!

There's love among the wealthy,
There's love among the poor;
There's love among the healthy,
And those close to death's door.
There's love among the sinners,
There's love among the just;
Among the verdant places,
Among the arid dust.
You'll find it in the city,
You'll find it in the town;
It isn't always pretty
The way that it goes down.
Yes, love can happen anywhere, enjoyed by everyone,
By those who seek to gain an heir, or those who just want fun.
It's free, so if you're so disposed, don't worry-- there's no costing.
The only drawback, I suppose, is it can be exhausting!
So here's to love, in every form! Who would object to that?
It soothes us, and it keeps us warm;
Among, amas, amat!

 

Once in a woman I inserted my penis
She said she really loved this
She was having good orgasms
That felt like lovely spasms
That made her moan and gush
Her body sensations a rush
Then I came inside her
Before we cuddled together
Oh the great experiences
Of enjoying all our senses

 

Life is too short, to borrow a line,
But it will bring you down if you let it;
My prescription will heal you and make you feel fine,
The miracle cure? Just forget it!
Don't let life upset you, or bug you. Don't fret--
Just listen to Doctor Old Hippie.
You swallow my medicine every day.
Your condition is CHRONIC? Well, yippee!
I know just the cure, a medicinal herb guaranteed to help you forget...
Now, what was I saying? Hey, look, there's a bird!
I wonder what sort it might be.
It could be a sparrow--there are more! It's a crowd!
The fridge is now calling me near.
"Come on! There's cold chicken! It cries out so loud
The only sound I can now hear.
You can rest when you're wrapped in your burial shroud!
The munchies have kicked in. Oh, dear!
(Poem suspended until further notice...gotta go!)
