Doctor Are You Crazy

Coughing up phlegm
from end to end
struggling to breathe
since December

Where do I begin?
Please go to the doctor I urge him.
But he is a man
All macho and stuff

Break down and go?
What would a doctor know?
I am a male you see
Strong as a tree

Cough cough cough
Hack hack hack
I will continue coughing my phlegm
You do not realize, it is my prerogative, I am a him.

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 3/22/2020 12:09:00 PM Men are a little stubborn, Arturo you are right especially about directions - you have just given me an idea for a poem! Caren - put your forceful foot forward, Hubby must go to the Doctor! Blessings my friend, Jennifer. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/22/2020 12:13:00 PM I have tried. He is not budging and I cannot lift the man.

Arturo Michael Date: 3/22/2020 3:33:00 AM Wow...old cowboy's still around...Many men are like that, especially with directions...I hope he goes to the doctor...

He is right because doctor does not live in this house or in the dollar store or the grocery store which are the places he goes.
