George Seal Poet Rhyme

A Pain In The Neck

    From the tips of my toes, to the end of my nose,
    I probed for reactions, without any pain.
    With a drink to my lips, I examined my hips,
    But my efforts, again were in vain.
    While scrubbing some skin, on my double chin,
    I found nothing to make me complain.
    Then with one final check, I felt a pain in my neck,
    Which left me, simply feeling insane.
    Without any doubt, I was suffering from gout,
    That starts when I'm drinking champagne.

Andrea Dietrich November 3, 2025 at 1:33 AM I think you have more than just neck pain. Gout sounds bad too, but what's this about the champagne? Congrats in my contest. I enjoyed the read. George Seal November 4, 2025 at 2:23 AM Hi Andrea, while I have enjoyed rude health all of my life, never broken a bone or hospitalised, despite playing rugby league for many seasons. I had to use poetic license to write this poem. A hot toddy with whisky and honey is my preferred nightcap. Thank you for your kind comments. My regards George.
