Poetic Asides I Get...

I Get Thankful

I get thankful

when I fill out forms

for new doctor visits

and follow the instructions

to check those that apply

to you now or in the past.

Cancer No

AIDS  No

Heart defects No

Arthritis  No

Meningitis No

Diverticulitis No

Ebola  No

Asthma  No

Fibromyalgia No

Cerebral Palsy No

Epilepsy  No

Kidney Disease NO

Stroke No

COPD No

Hearing loss No

On and on it goes.

It makes my actual ailments

seem not so bad.
