My body is like a London train
Start, and stop, and change again
Signal failure, then it runs fine
But a foreign body is blocking the line
Now I am feeling dizzy
maybe it's a blood clot
A stroke, something permanent blocked
I do hope that it's not
My body's going nowhere
All activity has stopped
I have to wait, and rest, and read
Pretend that I don't care a jot
The system is all linked
Doctors are like engineers
Checking every junction
Don't delay with with fears
While they prod things to make them function
