Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

Demiseville, Usa

Demiseville, USA

Karen, a vivacious redhead, she.
Looked in the mirror and spotted
three gray hairs.
"O tempora, O mores,"she declared

Off to her attorney in defeat,
Signing papers in the summer heat.
Off to buy an expensive coffin,
With a compartment to put her best
Friend, the iPhone in!

Rushes home to give away favorite
Figurines and beloved Books,
The Grim Reaper she awaits at
Her ivy covered gate.
She created this insane scene...
All of her own desparate making.

Diseases with a passion she seeks to 
find and does.
Suffering so needlessly in her mind.
With poisonous elixirs.
Walgreens, she believes, cures all ills.
She refused to learn Hippocrates lesson.
"Let food be your medicine, and medicine
be your food. "

Let Karen be a lesson to us all.
Live joyfully in this day.
Live life, stop, please, stop,  planning 
our final curtain call.

Panagiota Romios

* O, Temopra, O Mores*
Cicdro said this. Meaning "oh the Times, oh the customs."

Constance La France April 14, 2019 at 11:36 AM Panagiota, great poem, I agree so many are relying on herbal medicines, vitamins and minerals, etc when all they have to do is eat healthy. And if we become sick, we should listen to our doctors and embrace each day ~ Panagiota Romios April 14, 2019 at 12:39 PM Hello, Dear Heart, dear friend. Eating heathy is the best. But not all processed and sprayed foods are good. I wish we had more natural doctiors here, also. Sorry, I missed your comnent earlier. I passed out most of yesterday. My last poem, the Inlated Nation took forever to type. Grandson is here, he's a dear, as are you.))) Love you, Panagiota.
