Health Crisis

The doctors say I am a total wreck
They will evaluate the rest they find
Bottom of my feet to top of my neck
It appears I have misplaced my mind.

I enjoyed reading this quatrain since, at our age, going to the doctor is always a challenge, worrying what the next discovery will be, but you made it so humorous and delightful. Excellent work, best wishes with the contest

Likely, Rico. I've been scratching my head, hoping to stimulate something and when it is stirring about, I will catch it.

Oh my, I hope not. I've been trying desperately to locate my mind.

Lol, good one Milton, I dread going to the docs wondering what else he'll find. Hope you soon find it. Tom
