TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING

“TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING…”

He bought himself a large coffee

That lasted until ten o’clock…

He wanted to get another

But thought it wiser to stop.

He switched to crushed ice and water

In the same coffee jug…

A lazy rinse-out he bartered

For one less stain on the rug.

With coffee as a diuretic,

Needed fluids need replacing…

With him a diabetic

Treats he needed more spacing.

The pundits all agree

That too much of a good thing…

Dries the pockets and puts out of reach

The good life PACKED WITH ZING!

–Jonathan Caswell

APPENDUM “C”…of the poetic work, “THREE WEST”. by Jonathan Caswell

APPENDUM “C”

(Of “THREE WEST”)

WHY DID HE GO “INSIDE?”

Why did he go “inside?”

Can limericks open that wide…?

He WAS depressed,

Overly stressed–

Giving up was long-term suicide!

Where the Bible says”hate your own life,”

He took it verbatim and right…

No one at church taught

To take as he ought,

So he’s lived most of his life with that strife.

Everyone thinks God is love,

His Spirit fills us like a glove…

If the church in revival

Had taught more Bible,

He would have understood God’s Love!

–Jonathan Caswell

Commendations to the flexible staff,

They’d be high on any bar graph…

This group was mild–

Others are wild–

Working both groups  a task!

Some staff had thicker crusts,

For some strict rules were a must…

Our hero was shaken

By his belt taken,

His pants had a down-ward thrust!

Some who initially seemed hard,

Later lightened up for a bard…

Ad lib singing

A ditty springing,

By request on “Nicole” on the ward!

The teachers opened many things,

To manage those frequent mood swings…

Technique that shapes

Not playing “old tapes,”

Where happiness gleefully sings.

–Jonathan Caswell

OFTEN GOING SOUTH

OFTEN  GOING SOUTH

 

Diabetics change their moods

At the drop of a hat…

Taking a little more by mouth,

Affects  the feelings stat.

In this hemisphere

When things head south, they’re down…

Below the equator,

Is it the other way around?

Anyway, to even out

The mood swing is the key…

For diabetics to

Live more peacefully!
