Your heart is kind, so amazing
A blessing, inside… my soul is praising
You’re a piece of the life, God gave
A life full of purpose, a chance so brave
Your soul is faithful, such sacrifice
A sweet smelling joy, heavenly spice
You’re a miracle of grace, God’s light
A murmur of love that feels so very right
Your story comes alive as dawn rises
A blessing of pure wonder always surprises
You’re a healing of the heaviest heart
A music poured out, a song that won’t depart
Your tenderness is like a breath of hope
A sweet ember of encouragement so I can cope
You’re a friend who is worthy of each honor
A promise that tells me all my fear is a goner
Your natural ability is to always inspire
A sincerity that reassures my wildest desire
You’re more than a blessing, I can’t describe
A blessing that is just what Jesus did prescribe
When I first met you, I didn’t realize
How your light could be brighter than sunrise
Now I know that you’re more than a friend
You’re assurance that my gratitude will never end!
Thank you, my friend – for all you’ve been
I’ve loved you since our friendship did first begin
Soulful melodious injections...
Rendering sweet salient pulsations
Scintillating sensations in the spine...
Organic rhythms of the time
Just what the doctor ordered after a
long day of hustling and bustling
I find my favorite crease in the couch
With a turntable, record, and a needle in hand...
I slowly self-administer dose after dose of natural healin'
Now, I stand and move 'cause the medicine
is working
I'm smiling and grooving 'cause the pain is
no longer lurking
The great 40s, 50s, and 60s sweetly spinning from
the turntable to my spine
Oh, let's not forget about the 70s, 80s and 90s... organic
Sounds are still spinning in my time
My, my so vital is this vinyl
Deeply in my spine and still on my mind
Happy Jack is back on track
Had a rough go of it for a week or so
Wondered if it was really ever going to end
I'm almost back to normal but it's slow
Wasn't totally sure I'd make it through
Felt like my head was about to explode
Slept for about ten hours every night
And six hours every day on overload
I don't wish this on my worst enemies
But maybe just a small dose could strike
Perhaps a wee bit couldn't hurt methinks
I'd just like to share and share alike
It's been like an out of body experience
I'll behave myself from this day forward
Promise to behave from today till tomorrow
Trust me, it's just what the doctor ordered
Happy Jack is back on track
Had a rough go of it for a week or so
But all's well that ends well they say

“It’s a pickle, Puss,” her husband proposes.
“Is it sweet?” she probes.
“It’s a dill, Darling. Just what the doctor ordered.”
The doctor’s face, like vinegar. The nurse didn’t care
for pickles at all. She thought the pickle was a prop.
“No,” the doctor said, “It is a proper pickle and delicious,
though I’ve not tried it.” The nurse just stared
at the newest addition to the pickling jar. It’s junior size,
a miniature snack, at best. It won’t get any bigger.
“Get me a Gherkin!” the doctor yells, “Stat!”
“That’s not a pickle!” yells the wife,
“That’s not a craving. It’s a baby cucumber.”
“Well, I’ll be pickled!” the doctor laughs.
“What a quack!” whispers the husband to his wife.
To the nurse, “Get my wife a snack.”
The nurse brings in the prized pickle and the wife snatches
the giant jolly green, “Now, this will do quite nicely.”
And the couple lived happily ever after, unencumbered,
having the whole enchilada, well the prickly pickle, dear.

Sponsor: Mystic Rose Rose
Sweet, sweet inspiration
Glorious grandeur magnetizing
Stoking that creative light
In a vast land of darkness
Bossman getting on your case
Life treating you unkind
A desire to be entertained
Some relief from all the pain
In search of therapeutic healing
Weekends filled with needles and vinyl
Just what the doctor ordered
Sweet tunes for the spinal
Laughter, sure pure delight
Right hemisphere musing
Music! Music! So amusing!
Amusement in the air
Sweet, joyous laughter everywhere
Musing to the museum
Artifacts of cultural and historical importance galore
Still soothing the soul and more

Doc said put on this hospital gown
Then remove your clothes from the waist down
My bare tootsies she clocks
As I’d removed my socks
No need for that, she said with a frown!
True story today - get my biopsy results in a month - got my fingers crossed ... wish I could have kept my legs crossed lol

I named her Jumpy, she is my new friend
Just when having a pet came to an end
I have a balcony with a black rail
No wood to chew on, or shingles to fail.
Each morning she visits me for a bite
Eats Seed Munch in a basket at first light
Climbs up to my third floor to say Hello
Then back again for a bite at last glow.
They say pets are good for a healthy life
Their antics can lower worry and strife
Can’t let this one in, or cuddle with her
At least my pillows aren’t covered with fur.
She’s just what the doctor ordered for me
Makes me laugh each day and lives in a tree!
J-ust what the doctor ordered,
E-agerly do it without delay;
S-ubmit to the instruction,
S-o the sickness shall go
A-way.
M-an's sins and wicked ways
A-re suppliers of decay;
E-radicate the iniquity to brighten up our darkest day.
T-o follow God's command
O-bliterates transgression;
R-elieving the heartaches,
R-eady for great salvation.
E-ternal life is in store for those who listen to God's word;
S-eventh October obedience is just what the doctor ordered.

IF YOU ARE LIKE ME YOU SHOULD NOT LIKE ME
This is hard to believe but some people like me
Other people doN'Tt like me at all
Some other people and me actually agree
And some other people aren't like me at all
I am sometimes a bitter pill to swallow
Other times I am just what the doctor ordered
I am not a person any person should follow
And my friendship is usually ill-afforded
So to those who like me I say thank you
And to the ones who don't I say you are wise
Because I can turn to gray any sky of blue
And do it right before your very eyes

1111… he says, more fun.
And last year already,
I gave him the One.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
To remember in November is the way to play…
Row row, row your boat,
Gently up a stream…
Wilson rowed, and so he knowed
And said it was like a dream…
Madison, you said, more fun…
So Grover’s clover came undone,
And Willami, the honeybee…
Well, just so you know…
SHE, played nic nac paddy wac
And when Ben got back…
A wish was Granted.
Four fun…
is just what the doctor ordered.
Jackson came and the fun began…
In thanks again,
Linkcoln brought a Ham.
George ol boy… great game today!
Come join the fun, bring along TJ!
So the fun began and the boys played ball…
The sun shined bright,
There were smiles on them all.
A Great game it was!
The ball bounced and whirled,
aTeam focused to score…
And then along came a girl.
Odd little thing… they stared in doubt.
Scratching their heads and looking about…
She wants to play?
Is that what she,
what she has to say…?
Rockin’ on her heels
And swaying back, two fours…
She Looked at them all,
And she said, “Of course”!
