That Pain Is Back

That pain is back.
By Stanley Russell Harris
The new mad author

If you suffer pain yourself!
I hope you are all helped, by The National Health.
Hope they got your treatment right.
Or you’ll be in pain, all blinking night.

Now, I’m doped up unto to my ears.
 My pain is bearable; you’ll be pleased to hear.
Yet even when dosed up, you know.
Sometimes that blinking pain won’t go.

 When the pain does go away!
To recharge itself, I meant to say.
I wish I knew where it did go.
Then to that place, I would flow.

Armed to the teeth with what I’ve got.
Paracetamol, codeine, morphine the lot!
I’d scatter them all about; continue until there’s not a doubt.
There are no more pains about.

My apologies if you live where there is not an adequate health service that looks after you. 
Hope you all had a happy, peaceful Easter time.

Hello Stanley,nice to meet you.You must be suffering from some sort of pain.I have an high aideshernia. That keeps me awake at night. If not hurting, it feels like a rock is on top of me. I can have an operation when I can not breath. Wow! Something to look forward to. Cannot lift anything heavy it sets it off.

Sorry to hear you are also plagued by my friend Pain. I have just been put back on steroids so should be flying high again. Of course it means I cannot take place in any sports. But then I do not now anyway. Hope you are cured before you qualify for help if you know what I mean. Keep smiling it confuses people.
