    Poem Commentary

    taken from my book.' The Taming of The Fork',- a collection about poems about M Parkinson's and me.

    Precious Moments

     

    “Life begins at 40”

    Read it on a gift card

    Said it could be naughty

    So I tried very hard

    My job was driving me nuts

    Wanted control of my steering wheel

    Went for a foundation degree

    Needed to set my wings free

    Without the aid of red bull

    Did all my study after my tea

    Felt like I’d signed up for 3 degrees

    Those precious moments

    When will I see you again?

    Passed my degree at the end of the course

    Really enjoyed it, I was really inter .... courses

    I joined – THE MANAGEMENT

    I was a spritely 44

    Then some bugger kneecapped me

    Blew this future away

    Got myself this ‘happenin’ Parkinson’s gig

    Spare me a cig

     I’m staring at empty beer bottles

    Man they plied me with the drugs

    Ropinerol , Selegolene

    The scene is heavy man

    You should see my hall-ucin-ations

    Those giant bugs!

    Got so many pills I got shares in Boots

    I got so many pills

    The NHS comes to me for supplies

    I get thank you letters from the Priminister,

    Work, gives this body so much pain

    24/7 you know what I’m sayin

    It’s like  having your own underground

    The trains take the pain

    Well I’m three year into this Parky business

    My brains turning to Chemical Soup

    Society says that I have to change

    Is it ‘cause I is disabled

    Works put me out to pastures new

    Retired me on ill health grounds

    Like some poor old stallion in a donkey sanctuary

    Anyway I’m off now

    To shag another mare

    I feel your pain. It is something I know well. Parkinson's is a horrible disease. Very good poem.

    thank you for your kind words. It is true pain is constant bedfellow, but it doesn't stop my life. See my next poem on Parkinson's

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
