The Hypochondriac

I"m getting rather faint again I don"t feel well at all. My back has gone,my legs both ache must sit in case i fall Scurvy,swine flu,measles mumps. I must have had the lot I even broke out in a sweat whilst i was in my cot The doctor calls,he doesnt care, Just looks at me and smiles. I grimace back in pain,not joy. I"ve just sat on my piles The end is nigh,and thats a fact. Of this i can be sure. My epitaph will surely read.. They couldn"t find the cure

So true it's hard to find the cure to life, unless perhaps it's death? Hope you feel better and welcome to the soup! Light & Love

This is humorous....that is...if it's really a hypochondriac that you feature here. If this is real pain and suffering, how sad for the person who isn't taken seriously. Great write, either way! Hugs, Donna
