Hospital Haiku
Hospital Haiku
Night nurse draws blood
Once danced Calypso
In Sierra Leone
Racking cough
Sweeps through
Our sterile environment
Old woman
Next-door
Won’t see Winter
Monotony rules
Hospital blues
No end in sight
Out the window
Only one balloon
Rises in the warm morning
Catnap
In between
Learned prodding
All the Doctors
Have the same name
And come from the East
Nurse wakes me
Rolled over on
The damn call button again
Hot summer day
Being released
Pull the IV

Poetic man, huh?! Good Haikus!
becky: Thanks!
I'm all for IV's if they have red wine or vodka pumping through it.
Cherry: A nice dry Italian Red sounds good, but I don't think they'd go for it, besides, what's the point if you can't taste the wine??
Nice. Good food. Good poetry. Good folk. What more does a man need?
SC: Good wine, of course!
I missed ya!
Keshi.
YUCK! Hospitals.
You ever notice they don't serve healthy food?
Glad you're outta there phos!
To Mrs. phos: Thanks so much for taking good care of him! :-)
u must have spent a great deal of time for the haiku...
Crikey PK, what is going on ? Hope it is something minor but I don't like the sound of the hospital stay at all
PK
Maybe next time
You'll study harder
For your medical tests
"All the Doctors

Too funny. They take our IT support jobs, we get their witch doctors. Fair trade.
hope ur ok Kid.
Keshi.
I hope your ok, too.
Thinking of you phos & mrs phos.
Now run ! Get better Kid !
Wine. How could I forget? Duh. How are you feeling PK? Everything go ok? Did you manage to behave yourself with the nurses?
The nurses were nice, but kind of scary. I suppose they have to be or they'd never have gotten me to let them draw blood.
Were they cute-scary, or just plain scary? If the latter, could you consider making a complaint? Cute nurses are half the cure if you ask me.
SC: I always wind up with someone's mom. There was a blonde bird, but she needs to stay out of the sun, her skin looked like alligator hide.
Thanks to you all for your wishes, feeling much better. Managed to down some "house" chicken and Wor Wonton soup, so I am on the mend. Give me a couple more days and I'll be eating jalapenos out of the jar again.
