Short Hypertension Poems

I have noticed, for what it's worth,
A provocative title gets attention;
A bawdy limerick generates mirth
But, often, a bit of hypertension.

Since getting old, I now walk like a penguin
Wobbling describes it, could be water retention
All that being said
More that I dread
A load in my nighty causing hypertension...

The computer is a marvelous invention,
To enhance our way of life it's intention.
But should the thing crash,
Hot tempers will flash,
Resulting in much hypertension!

OBSESSION
I am singing the songs of obsession
To ease your extreme hypertension
This is our long lasting expression
Let's forget everything about what is our possession

Once,
my little mind
saw pills as sweets
and longed to take sweets
when she eventually,
ripened.
i am sixteen now
and mama
 takes the sweets
 given to her
for hypertension and back pains
and sour lips and migraines. 
please for tomorrow's sake,
i do not wish
to take this sweet pills
again....

Obesity has been growing in the past 20 years
But health officials were shocked by a 1999
Study that revealed that 61% of the population 
 Either overweight or obese
Obesity linked to diabetes
Heart disease
 Hypertension
 Osteoarthritis and cancer
The effects of obesity cost Americans $100 billion per year

Hey boy I’m your long time suffering dog
I need some of that love and tender care,
I’m no farm yard live in the mire hog
Here inside this thick fur lair
Home to them damn fleas I swear,
While you get it away when on the grog.
Glad you are here at last some attention
To check on my stress and hypertension.

The sky looks so much bluer
And the grass a deeper green
the trees are stronger, taller  
As I think I’ve ever seen

The sunshine brighter
Clouds are whiter 
Every step I take is lighter
All around is suddenly alive in every way

Am I high
About to die
Should I scream, or laugh, or cry

And why does my skin tingle
All my senses now commingle

It must be love....

With blear-eyed look,
The drinks he took,
With eyes full of tears,
He enjoys his 'cheers'!

His flushed red face,
Has no bashfulness,
He has enlarged breast,
And 'spiders' scattered on the chest.

In the abdomen distended,
Has fluid  accumulated,
Gives handshake hot,
But has libido lost.

His concealed sin 
Has relieved his mental tension,
But has expressed
In the form of "Portal hypertension'!...

Ocular hypertension and
A couple of jabs here

I read the letters on the chart and
Threw in the towel

But she was adamant 
The connotations

Pay-per-view Las Vegas
Ears bitten 

Jubba-jubba-jib-jab and
A bathroom meteorologist 

I got the receptionist
In a headlock 

I didn't kill Davey Moore
But I made another appointment and

Promised her the next time I was in
I would be the heavyweight champion of the world

Cheese & jelly sandwiches
Straws for short grilles
Pickled feet cannibal's refuse to eat
Frozen snow in your bowl
Dandelions greens I'm hypertension hold the fat back please
Winger washing machine
Candles burning on both ends
When you done dreaming
Wake up screaming 
A lance injected a sword slices
Cuttings variables potato salad
What does all this mean
Don't eat food's out of the ordinary???

I tip toe from one to another

on a hypertension link

a thousand different ways

to relay what you think


interspliced into instances

amidst angry avatars

creatures craving comments

sticky slithering sonnets


if that's all you ever find

no matter where you go

it's because in this digital wasteland

you reap what you sow...

The things I love are dearest to me
What makes me the maddest are close to me
The sweet taste of life is to much for my diabetes
Salty problems are tampering with my hypertension
Love is to me as the sun is to day
Where would this life take me and him
His kisses are addictive, I guess you can call me an addict
The touch is medicine for my pain
Those pretty brown eyes are the only spotlight I need
Love strong or don't love at all
Give it all or none...

To be healthy I'm told I must exercise a lot
Eat no junk food or your going to go to pot

Wear a helmet when your bike you ride
And latch seatbelts in case you should collide

Be sure to get an adequate amount of sleep
And always be sure to look before you leap

I'm told beware of ingesting to much table salt
If you get hypertension it will be your own fault

Its hard to remember all the things that one should do
Oh, oh, now I'm reminded my insurance I must  renew...

What makes me happy?  There are many long lists:
I don’t want IV tubes attached to my wrists.
I also don’t need any malignant cysts.
If drugs can keep my hypertension at bay,
I hopefully can live to see another day.
When the ambulance comes to take me away,
I hope there won’t be any traffic tie-ups that day.
I receive far less than I ever give.
Despite my problems, I want to continue to live.
What makes me happiest of all you say?
When I wake up each morning to face another day....

sound does not travel in a vacuum,
that's why i woke up normally.
I took my pill for hypertension
and I boiled the coffee 
that I spilled on the apartment balcony:
some meteor cut off a third of the moon!
what a morning sky!
what colors!
the spectacle of hallucinated people
running terrified down the street
everyone clinging to their cell phones
ridiculously looking for salvation
and the rain of rocks!
and the insane wind with it's letal breath!
what a storm!
what a death!...
