Blogetry

Satin and silk

Silken

butter soft entry

parting the flesh

quietly

A rosary spill

the thump of life

darkening death

of the dirty steel

Caress me here

caress me now

call me in

show me how

Satin will love me

much more than you

Oh cheer up for God's sake!

Everyday addicts

Nurofen for the headache

Paracetamol the pain

Valium gets you out of it

But leaves you much the same

Magnesia for the windy pipes

Vitamin E for the hair

Anusol for unspoken places

and sore bits way down there

Cod liver oil for good clear skin

Garlic for a healthy heart

A whopping dose of echinacea

Will give you a bit of a start

Feminax for the period pains

Settlers for the gut

Iron jelloids and vitamin c

will get you out of a rut

Oh for the sake

of a terrible ache

A tablet, a capsule at will

90% of the human race

dependent on a pill.

Probably a good job I don't inflict my poetry on the world very often but the first one reflects the feelings I had when I popped my baby in the post this morning. The second was a result of the mad scramble on my return to find a cure for my 'stress head' in the first aid box, or should that be 'the residue of everything that my family has ever suffered from' box. Ah well!
