A Diabetic Monkey
A monkey fell sick of diabetes
To a doctor he went for medical aid

Doctor told him passionately;
“To avoid dying soon, never eat ripe bananas”

Monkey vowed never to eat bananas
On the way he saw ripe bananas and thought;

Doctor told me not to eat bananas- but not to...

Diabetic
She found out she was diabetic
And almost died from it
We got her to the hospital
Which we thought it wasn't possible
Shes wearing that gown
And feels a little down
She'll have to change the way she eats
And still needs to get her sleep
A new life in a way
Which...

Diabetic Man
1

On St Patrick’s day my score was nine point two.

Maybe I am about to get the regular flu.

In spite of all the tablets I take.

The magic number Six I cannot make.

2

Every night the Insulin counts to twenty six.

Resembling a drug addict going for a fix.

I...

Diabetic Psychopathy
He was
 sick of her.
He was 
bored 
and 
restless.
The tramps 
at work
stimulated 
his thirst
for new
 conquests.
He thought 
to himself:
This diabetic 
is taking up 
so much of 
my time.
I'm sick of 
her whining.
And the needles 
she's poking.
God must 
be joking.
So he 
thought deeply.
About 
ridding himself
of someone...

This Poem Is So Syrupy Sweet It Could Make One a Diabetic
YOU ARE RIGHT TO WRITE

I keep all of your letters in one neat pile
They stay on my desk in favor of a file
I keep them like that to remind me of your style
And don’t allow anyone ever to defile your smile

I envision that grin I...

Diabetic Frozen Things

I eat  sugar popsicles in the snow;
I drink sugar hot chocolate with ice on the go;
And sugar now it's cold;
Kool aid with sugar, please;
I don't want no diabetes;
So I lick my sugar spoon;
And run out the sugar room;
Got a tooth ache need...

Soliloquy of a Diabetic
Strolling along the tooth-track, 
I lose my vibrant way in the *Black Forest.

Jackfruit flesh is tempting.
But there’s a hell beyond the heaven. 

I fall into the ravine of fatigue
from the crest of *Mysore Pak.
 
Kidneys and their cousins wilt. 
Drugs devastate my inland.
Sugary desires die...

Premium Member Diabetic Type 2 I Am
For me the past six months
has changed me so very much
I've reached what I had dreamed
pounds of weight now I can touch

For me, 12 stone 2 pounds seemed so far
as in years past I ventured to reach
too many chocs were my downfall
now it's only the...

A Diabetic To His Steward
A diabetic to his steward

On the table is your sack letter,
Beside my unfinished tea, no better;
Four photocopies of it in my file,
Their original to be collected by you;
Sure evidence that your stewardship was all rubbish
And that, henceforth, I would to you be snobbish.

Your offence was...

Pathetic Skeptic Who Was Diabetic
We knew Trump was purely pathetic;
Also leaping, lewd and lascivious skeptic; 
Bizarre;
Should see scar;
He had been overweight and a diabetic.

when you are sick and you just want it to end

that will help you through thick and thin

Life Is Diabetic
Life is diabetic
Life is sweet 
Yet bitter 
Ever wonder why 
What we enjoy 
Could be our killer
Cos we enjoy but 
Fail to prevent
Even when the warning
Is clear 
We still run to the sweetness
Of life 
Still without minding
Just to enjoy the moment
To cry at the end...
