Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Acrimonious Acronyms - No Place For Me In Icu

I'm at my office at the AMA
I have a seizure, but I’m not DOA

So I get transported to the local ER
Who call my ex wife, she works in PR

Before I get treatment by a young MD
They want insurance and proof of my ID

But my evil ex had arranged a DNR
It’s clear to see that I am FUBAR!

*apology for use of the F but you will see that the acronym fitted in perfectly with the theme and the sponsor said it could be humorous!

Rico Leffanta March 22, 2021 at 12:41 PM From the German: furchtbar = "terribly" adverb. via Yanks who could not pronounce the "rch" and did not want to use, "SNAFU" (Situation Normal All F-Up) Clever, clever, Jan! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison March 22, 2021 at 4:03 PM lol thanks Rico:-) hugs Jan xx
