I had my covid 19 test today Twas uncomfy that’s all I will say Swabbed my throat then my nose Nose was clean there’s no crows* I’m happy that it’s out the way Need another test at the weekend Then it’s quarantine time I must spend Till they put me to sleep I hope the sleep is deep With a camera shoved up my rear end! Crows* is a term we used for bogies when I was growing up in Derby Got a colonoscopy next Tuesday ...so expect more poop poems! 07/02/20

G'day Jan … I don't know which would be worse. I've had that stick shoved up my nose and I didn't like that much. The other test; well mm - could it be worse. I can't comment on that yet - they can't catch me - thanks Jan - Lindsay

Thank you for the humour, Jan; still at its best, even though it's inspired by a more serious situation. Wishing you all the best for next Tuesday. Hugs // paul

Rectum? Hell, it killed 'em! Naught to worry, the doctor will be there! Didn't you say IOM was safe? There is more to life than healthcare, so please find a new interest! Aloha! Rico
