The Curse I Live With

If someone tells me stuff I would rather not know about, I can not unknow what it is about, Others seem to have no trouble forgetting what it is about, And denying any knowledge about, With not even a passing thought about, What to do about what they should not know about, And would rather not know about. That leaves people cursed like me looking to see if there is a whistle about, That can be blown when nobody else is about.

Glad you liked it Louis. Some people seem to have no trouble forgetting what they heard. Lucky them. Best regards David in NZ

yeah what do you do when you cant forget something you were told. what a quandary to be in. I'm just reading about a consultant here who was a whistleblower in his old hospital, sad on so many levels, as he has just left the hospital here he is an amazing man - been incredible with my hubby and his cancer treatment. hugs jan xx
