Was it the food
or my indigestion
When I’m fully recovered
I’ll ask my wife a burning question
Heartburn and indigestion most unpleasant.
I knew better but ate it anyway.
Have only myself to blame.

By My Suggestion Congestion
Horn Haiku
by my suggestion
are symptoms of congestion
and indigestion
soon we will be free
soon we will be walking without worry
soon we will be having only the happiest of dreams
soon we will be waking up stress free and smiling
until then, let's cut off this alarm before we both kill it twice
the bills will never pay themselves
now give me a kiss and let us pray for our personal sanities
you go make your french vanilla coffee
i will go grab a few cinnamon rolls and some vanilla oatmilk
no news this morning, cut on an old episode of dennis the menace
a season one episode is on
i look back at the bedroom
you look back at the bedroom
we are tempted, but we laugh it off, shake our heads, and resume our individual preparations
At age, the mind finds it hard to digest information.
The stomach has the same trouble with food!
Raymond hated to ask for directions.
He thought he knew the way without question.
Leaving his joint
Came to same point
and ended by having indigestion.
Indigestion and Congestion
Trump always suffered from indigestion
When traffic contained much congestion
Discovered poor became his driving skill
He drives best if traffic is at a standstill
Church plate never puts into collection.
Jim Horn
Indigestion
Incorporate corporate
Income greed stocks revenue
Increased incisive profits
Illusion independence
It’s money dogma inshrined
In the end internal blood
Ingested coins one big belch

Festive Indigestion
Found it was festive
Suffer from indigestion
What a way to live.
