Hearken When the Body Talks
Hearken When the Body Talks
Any minor hint of bodily pain
Never ignore and never disdain
This could be some telltale sign
Of what may deadly malign.
It may start as a minor pinch
That swells to fatally lynch....
It may sprout as a tiny wart
That will spread to every part....
Good servant is our prostate-
Aggrieved, it turns an apostate.
Cervix to be frequently checked
Averts it being fully wrecked!
Never remain cold or be mum
While nursing a swollen gum
Nor suspect: “it’s the breeze.”
When you continually sneeze...
You did not swallow dry bones
Nor ingest some raw prawns....
When suffering a runny tummy
Quickly alert sweet mummy!
Nay, when eyes are bloodshot
You are not upset-you are not.
But, be wary of a lurking bug
That in future you may not shrug!
