Notes About The Poem
At physical therapy, I was placed on a moist heating pad with electrical impulse attachment...They set it for so many minutes and leave..The buzzer went off and it kept getting hotter and hotter..I rang for someone to come and no one did..So I pushed my knee support out and sat up..Then I pushed my buzzer and no one came..I waited and waited...So I buzzed again and no one came..I took off the electrical wires and no one came..I got off the table and sat in the chair and no one came...I finally left..What if I had not been able to get off that hot pad?..Sara

The Buzzer Went Buzzz

.
                                          The buzzer went buzzzz
                                   Heat from moist heat now hotter
                                            Red roasted boo ta'

Good grief, Sara, I'm so glad you got off of the heating pad. At PT once I endured actual burns on my back but the therapist insisted I continue this painful procedure. Thank goodness you had enough sense to get off of it. Love, Carolyn

AH! But the heat feels so good. This winter remember you don't have to shovel heat. Vince
