When nothing makes sense
Let's go to Doctor Lunda, she said
I found a place near the bus terminal that had no buses
A policeman came and said we could not park there
and rules are rules, but he offered to drive to Dr. Lunde
in my car, on the way, he got the gears wrong, and we ended up in a shallow lake
I called a truck, and the policeman said that the owner of
the car
I was responsible; rules are rules; the truck pulled out
Dr. Lunde turned out to be a chiropractor, the policeman
said I had to pay because I was the owner of the car
where he got a bad back
Later, we drove to a furniture dealer and had a cheap
Swedish furniture we had to put together ourselves
but the glue was free of charge
I am not a handyman
A lady came into the shop and said I had to clean
my car since everyone around here is posh
When I had cleaned the car, we walked to a café
that sold Swedish meatballs with mashed potato
but on that day, they had no mash left; meatballs
and mash go together, the woman would not let
us buy anything, the policeman said rules are rules

stress is the monkey on my back
the load that keeps on giving
i see my chiropractor for a crack
when he confides the secret is forgiving

let us go to Dr. Lunde, she said and we drove to the bus terminal to park the car as there as no busses anywhere, but we had to move our car
because as the guard said our automobile was not classified as a bus.
The guard offered to drive us in my car but he had to drive since the road was narrow
He drove the car into a swallow lake caused by flooding
A tractor pulled us out and the guard demanded we drive him back to the depot, where he gave us a ticket because rules are rules and society will collapse if we ignore them and pointed to the problem BLM as they have ignored the construct
and became anti-democratic.
Dr. Lunde is a chiropractor but calls himself a doctor because it gives kudos and a title like this makes him feel.
A woman from the cleaning police disturbed us
and said I had to go wash my car or pay a hefty fine We drove to IKEA ate Swedish meatballs and bought furniture with odd names, we had to join ourselves and I'm not a handyman.
The day ended, Dr Lunde peed in a bottle of Coke

Okay let's get the etiquette straight
I walk towards you, I nod
You nod back
Works all around the world
What doesn’t work, is, you're stopping
Stopping is bad
It’s a protocol thing
One must never stop and engage one
You just don’t do it
I really don’t want to know about your corns
Don’t give a crap about your lumbago
The price of fish doesn’t interest me
Old Mrs Jones died this time
Sure she’ll be missed
Your wife’s having an affair.
How are your corns
They really can be painful, I'm told
That lumbago
I could recommend a good chiropractor
The price of fish these days, shocking.
Old Mrs Jones
God, I'll miss her
Is that my bust, bus
Need to rush.

My sister is unwell
Taken by ambulance
First we heard she had sepsis
Then we heard she has Covid
Third diagnosis was a broken T-1 disc
Which means a broken neck
What? This was after the second ambulance ride
And a chiropractor adjustment in between
Surgery is imminent we are told
Then surgery is optional
Now she has pneumonia
I was told by someone who may know
She is saying this because she does not believe in Covid.
I dread picking up the phone now.

body am owner
no longer are a loaner
became body donor
what would make me mad
cheated counting hanging chad
which we knew was bad
hard been hard to bare
chiropractor met my prayer
now can climb each stair
my back has an arch
now stand straight when we march
in clothes is much starch
hurt from head to feet
to adjust he did repeat
my pain did deplete
back was out of line
adjusted back which is mine
now am feeling fine

Here are my Horn Chiropractor
Haiku Poems in a 5-7-5 format.
surely would be great
while walking should stand up straight
to do educate
up straight way we stood
be able to and we could
way we always should
my chiropractor
a straight body enactor
like a protractor
had been disgusted
body broken and busted
so was adjusted
what we should select
chiropractor who is correct
best one did detect
my body was bent
Chiropractor had a hint
walk crooked prevent
they should integrate
best way body situate
then must consummate

A drunk driver plowed right into the back of me as I sat at a red light.
My life flashed before my eyes as I watched numerous cars filled with giddy teenagers passing by.
Confused and in pain I wondered where all these youngsters were going.
Turns out they were headed to homecoming and the drunk driver that hit me was going to the same homecoming to see her daughter perform in the band.
The moment I realized this I was honored and glad she hit me instead of one of those unsuspecting, innocent, precious teens with their whole life ahead of them. I proudly accepted the pain and endured multiple chiropractor visits.
She was so drunk that an accident was unavoidable. I'm just glad a drunk driver hit me and didn't ruin the life of one of those beautiful kids. One might call it Divine Intervention and I would have to agree. Don't Drink and Drive!!!

She’s so sweet,
I’m all I’m up in her nectar,
I eat up like Mr. Lecter.
Should I call or should I text her?
Next week she’s still running through my mind.
I guess possessed,
I wanna possess call her mine.
Chiropractor on speed dial I tend to break spines.
You have a spell over me love potion number nine.
Excuse me miss this ain’t my first time,
Fresh to death, birthed inside a hurst why?
Do I even bother confessing to these love crimes.

Sandy was Bandy
She had bow legs
She had tried everything
To straighten her pegs
One day in utter despair
She went to a chiropractor
Who said with a stare
What a terrible sight
And grabbed at her legs
Which gave Sandy a fright
Then he did something
No chiropractor should do
He took hold of her leg
And started to screw
He screwed her leg round
Then gave it a twist
He'd straightened her leg
With a flip of his wrist
He was so pleased
With what he had done
He did the same thing
With the other one
The pain was excruciating
Sandy started to plead
Look at my legs
You have made me Knock Kneed

doctor. Lunde
Let us go to doctor Lunde she said
I found a place near the bus terminal that no buses
A police officer came and told the parking place was only for bus-passengers.
He offered to drive there us- in my car- but got the gears wrong
And we ended up in swallow lake.
You drove they are into the lake I said
But it is your car, and as such responsible, we called a tow car.
It dragged the car up, and at the same space, rules are rules
The officer said even when there are no buses.
We finally found parking outside the doctor’s office, he cam
Said it was his space and besides he was a chiropractor
Called himself doctor people trust them.
I lady from the cleaning- police said I had to wash the car
Instead, we drove to IKEA, looked at furniture with strange names.
Selling stuff, you had to glue tighter yourself
I’m not a handyman.
We ordered Swedish meatball without mashed potatoes,
You have to have mash the lady said it is the rule, so we ate
The balls and left the mashed potatoes, the lady who serves us took it
As an insult to Sweden so we ate the mash too.
