Diagnosed Psychosomatic

My father, an officer in army, his friend too,
A hypochondriac friend who was always blue,
Said I’m off to see the quack,
Doc said, odds against you stack,
Diagnosis: you’re pregnant Rex, out he flew!

Gershon Wolf Date: 12/26/2022 4:30:00 PM Let's see now. If women can go to the bathroom standing up, then men can have babies, as far as I'm concerned. The question is: Will the babies have the Men?!! ~ Just askin' Login to Reply

Susan Ashley Date: 4/20/2022 9:46:00 AM Haha! Your witty pen never fails to bring laughter to my day, my dear friend and sweet poetry sis.

Warmest wishes, love and hugs sent to you on sunny beams across the many miles.. ~Susan Login to Reply

John Watt Date: 2/10/2022 12:02:00 PM Thanks for the chuckle today, Jenny, you have impregnated my mind with a new fear of doctor visits, lol. I wonder if Rex was racing over to the OB/GYN for a second opinion...or maybe checking the calendar to see if it was April Fools day... have a great day, dear friend. Login to Reply

Joseph May Date: 2/5/2022 8:59:00 AM Haha, thanks for the chuckles Jennifer... Login to Reply Jennifer Proxenos Date: 2/6/2022 4:00:00 AM Hi Joseph, happy I made you chuckle - there was a film I would sa a good 15 - 20 years ago with Albert Schwarzenegger and doctors changed his life around, it was a comedy, he carried full term and had a baby, so who knows in the future, stranger things have happened ! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 2/5/2022 5:21:00 AM This is funny Jennifer. That is enough to scare any man I would think. Blessings xxoo Login to Reply Jennifer Proxenos Date: 2/6/2022 4:05:00 AM Hi my friend, absolutely but as I replied to Joseph, there was a film that we watched many years ago, it was hysterical - if you have Netflix it does have older movies, perhaps check and see, you will laugh right throughout, he even develops morning sickness! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
