Mark Hughes Poet Rhyme

Prostate Blues

In the darkened hours
plagued by an urgency,
do rise for the occasion
for it is time to pee.

Stumble back to slumber
a chance to get some rest,
when nature remits the signal
again, as if in jest.

This ritual repeats, now nightly,
for some not breaking news,
to those who are familiar
you know the prostate blues.

I am well aware of how difficult this is to deal with in so many ways. I am not religious, (agnostic) but I will send well wishes to you both, via positive thoughts. As always thank you for your support!!

David Fisher September 19, 2023 at 5:01 PM You write the blues real well here! It's a familiar song, but at least we see a little more of the night than we used to, good for some stories at least. Mark Hughes September 19, 2023 at 5:36 PM Thanks David, it praises I will not sing!
