POETRY CORNER

Quiet Guy

He’s a sort of Humpty Dumpty,

A quiet little guy.

If you look closely,

You’ll see a sparkle in his eye.

He’s in an old body

With a young active mind.

Turn around quickly;

You’ll find him walking behind.

Because of P.D. he moves sort of slow.

He’s concerned for all people

Who suffer discomfort and pain

From chronic conditions affecting the brain.

He’d like to be remembered by those who care

As a person searching for fresh ocean air,

Able to handle his P.D. day by day

And let doses of humor wash it away. Ed McCaffrey

Curses! It’s Spring

I'm dyskinesia dancing,

All my days are filled that way,

And in the night at my computer

games I sit and play.

My thoughts come out in poetry

and everything must rhyme.

My sleeping comes in cat naps

on the couch when I find time.

I cannot seem to stop myself

from putting things in verse.

My mind is mushy applesauce,

I blame the springtime curse!
