Nonsense or Daylight Saving Has Started

Hi Dear readers, just to let you know, I’m in hospital tonight, I had a bad afternoon, and they advised me to come into hospital. My Cat Scans were good, but keeping me here 2- 3 days under observation. Fortunately I’ll be ok 😊🙄

Resting on my pillow in the backyard willow

Under last year’s girlfriend’s bed-throw

Midnight’s gone, and I cannot sleep

I keep wanting to have a peep

I’m dreaming a vortex of dreams

The boiling kettle’s bursting with steam

I’m throwing out the fungus and cream

Empty coathangers, and the old fur coat beams

Politicians verbal shit in flowing upstream

Truth and lies tear at their trouser seams

Cancerous rhymes attack my open veins

It’s a dark cloudy night outside, who’s there to see the rain

The awakening dawn has no talking moon

And the morning sunshine needs a spoon

Daylight saving has begun too soon

My running shoes have walked out of the bedroom

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  5. NO! Not again. On the plus side you are in the best place, yes, that’s another of those annoying sayings that everyone says to us.

    Your poem does indeed sum up the way you must be feeling right now. Keep on writing Ivor and in the meantime, get well very soon. 🙂

  12. I’m so glad you have the solid good sense to take care of yourself, Ivor. I never suspected you might not — but I know how neglectful we older men can be Don’t want anything happening to you, bro.

    1. Thank you Kelvin, I was actually feeling quite poorly late yesterday afternoon, and I rang the nurse in charge of the Neuroscience Ward, and she advised to come into hospital, where upon arriving at Emergency I was admitted immediately in hospital. And everybody’s happy that I made the right decision. Today I’m feeling a lot better and have been having lots of appropriate tests, probably home in a couple of days, if all results being OK.

      2. Yes Kelvin, it was quite scary, but I knew that I should ring the Neuroscience Ward, and it was frustrating at the time, but I’ve learnt that these events are of my control, and to look for the positives, like I haven’t had a major attack and it won’t stop me from getting to America. 😁😉And I’m so pleased and it’s so reassuring to have my friends support on WP ( (hugs)) Kelvin

      2. Haha, yes I do get pampered, it’s the Neuroscience Ward, all patients are stroke suffers, and nurses here are more special than special. I talk to the nurses orderlies and cleaners, they all enjoy being a worker in the ward. 😊🙄

      3. yes hospitals generally have a high turn over but sadly stroke patients have a tendency to return regularly so they get to know you better … your case is proof 🙂

  22. Blue cheese and cream chase away the moon beams in wolf’s clothing with steamy tales of tails, chase with the boiling rain and angry drops tick-tock-ing an hour too early for the cow to jump over the moon resting in the cat’s sling-shot hummock, but of course, cats don’t scan the sky as well as a computer.
