Seeing seven boxes of pills
Is enough to make you feel ill
I've noted which I took and when
And when to take them all again
Caffeine will make me bounce and beep
While codeine sends me straight to sleep
A quick way to get forty winks
But not with alcholic drinks
So when friends offer me Champagne
I have a choice and must explain
It's drink or codeine to kill pain
I think I'll try Champagne again
Physios called, I can't complain
They brought a small size walking frame
It has an adjustable height
For bathroom visits twice each night
Theyll get a bar fixed on the wall
So in the shower I don't fall
One good thing despite waving pain
Is that's not costing me at all
If I were pain-free, I'd improve
But I won't trouble God above
World War Three is bigger than me
WhatsApp friends promise prayers, love.
I've got water, coffee, caffeine
Paracetamol, codeine, Cal
-cium, laxatives, Thyroxine
Notes to tell doctor when I've been
I've trained myself to swallow pills
By taking huge gulps of water
If I sit still, don't move an inch
My life's full of joy and laughter.
