Song of the earthworm
They tell me that trees are a wonderful sight
They have leaves hanging on them all day and all night.
They tell me the golden sun shines in the sky
It’s said to be so much brighter so high.
I’d like to hear birdsong and thunder and hail.
At all these pursuits worms are likely to fail.
We only make holes in the soil as we move
And we know almost nothing about feelings and love.
We don’t know why we’re here or what purpose we serve
And our earthen workplace is also our grave.
You have to laugh or else you’ll cry

My image of my own garden
Since my husband died I have been afflicted with recurrent UTI’s.
This year has been the worst I have only one entire month when I was well.
Unfortunately they affect the brain and hence the mind.I have had scans but it seems my immune system is not strong.I wondered if it was the steroid injections as steroids do affect things like white blood cells etc
Anyway, today I have something humorous to tell you.~
I have had antibiotics then they doctor asked me to take a sample to send to the pathology lab
I took it yesterday.When I gave it to the receptionist she said in a rather unkind tone
Why have you brought this?
I wonder why?
I might have said, it’s your morning coffee replacement
Your plants need watering.
It seemed a good idea at the time
It’s so pale I wonder if I have anaemia.
I was bored and wanted to see you.
Mind your own business
However I just said the doctor told me to
Are they trying to economise even on lab tests?
The government has told doctors to delay the referring for cataract surgery
As my mother used to say:You have to laugh or else you’d cry
