Joseph Matose Poet Couplet

Consultation Room

Consultation Room


Our organs we disdain
Until we have some pain
Then begin to learn
Let organs respect earn!

There’s this red “bean”
Fond of giving a spleen
Pith can suffer “cones”
They call kidney stones.

Maligned cirrhotic livers
Afflict with painful fevers
You may relish one of sheep
Yours gives scant sleep!

“You’ve got a Big Heart.”
Then think you’re smart!
There’s fire in the chest
You would hardly rest.

Diseased swollen lungs
Give the worst pangs
You sweat all over night
Yet shiver with frost bite.

When eyes are in pain
They see lightning and rain
The Pain eyes can lodge
You wish them to disgorge.

Not least a swollen ear
Which no sound will hear
It gnaws into your soul
Leaving you an empty bowl!

“Labour, to an aching tooth
“is nothing, I tell the truth!”
“You’re good wif no teef
“Than wif cyst underneaf!”

Cancer of the prostate-
Who would aptly relate
The worst of all the worse
It is a pure human curse!

Those who eat so well
Call gastric ulcers real Hell
Once a morsel you partake,
Writhe like a dying snake!

And, cancer of the cervix
Has Pain with no prefix!
The sick that you nurse
Suffer agony like a curse.

               *

Whoever is now healthy
Is confirmed as wealthy	
Organ treatment or care
All our efforts must dare.

Correct thy eating habit
Potential throe will inhibit
Work till you sweat
Disease spurns the heat.

Substance use or abuse
Condemn it and accuse
Cancers that we endure
Come from deals impure.

Regular checks are noble
To detect what may wobble
“And rectify the setback
 “That’ll get ya out o’ track!


*** Upon spending a sleepless night with a malignant lung (13/11/2013).

Kennedy Muitherero November 21, 2013 at 3:36 AM Health must not be overlooked as if it is deserved, but must be appreciated, tended and preserved. Excellent one Joseph Matose November 21, 2013 at 3:53 AM Thanks for visiting my poetry. I appreciate so much. God help your poetic hand! Friend, JM

Just That Archaic Poet November 20, 2013 at 10:17 AM Oh, God, JM; I hope this isn't true! Very deep and well-expressed and I sincerely wish and hope this isn't true. If so, you have my deepest empathy. My grandfather passed away of lung cancer, so this really hit home for me. Wishing you nothing but the best, my dear friend. Joseph Matose November 20, 2013 at 12:06 PM The lung suffers a minor bout and the kidney....terrible stones, real! Thanks for your empathy. I appreciate your support. Friend, JM

Terry O'Leary November 15, 2013 at 6:27 PM This is a 'terrible' poem 'cause it's so true... we don't appreciate what we have, until we're about to lose it... Terry (very good poem) (& thanks for your kind comments) Joseph Matose November 20, 2013 at 12:04 PM Thanks Terry. Did I tell you that I enjoy your poetry immensely. Thanks for dropping by. Friend, JM
