POSITIVE

I've come over all funny recently;

gone to the doctors

got the results.

 

Apparently i've been tested positive

whatever that means;

i'm in the system now.

 

I don't know wnether to laugh or cry

I have to think positive,  he said;

I thought I was already.

 

Suddenly i'm staring at the calendar

that list of days,

chocolate box pictures,

me going out of the picture.

 

I'm not one to pray

I just have to think positive

'cause that's what doctors say,

don't they.

Liked this! Very relieved to hear it doesn't apply to you! Can't keep up with your immense creativity!

Thank you Po. The secret ingredient is in the Audio.

Thanks Keith. I'm pleased to say I do stay positive - but in this case as the audio reveals, I am playing with the idea of the juxtaposition of two meanings of the same word. Not the realm of life expectancy as such. Those symptoms you mention are reason enough for scurrying to the NHS with medals for bravery.

Thank you Mark for that observation. I was being the sort of person you daren't meet in a waiting room for fear of an expected overload of sympathy and a complete lapse of confidence.

David, many a true word spoken in jest. I thought your request for the lawn mower was rather cutting. Incidentally, my life policy ran out some time ago.

Thanks Dorothy for taking me seriously !

Lovely to have your likes: Anya, Marcin, Vautaw and Jason.

Positive works as does the system. Good luck

The rendition was entirely right for the lurking unspecified threat contained in the lines.

Ray,

My advice is to stay positive and allow the system to take care of you. With creeping alopecia, water retention, arthritic feet, varicose veins, in growing toe nails and bouts of giddiness I can assure you that the system is sympathetic and therapeutic.

Stay strong,

Keith
