E-coli

When I think upon my life
I think of sickness and of strife
Of troubles bourne, of illness beat
As I struggle to my feet.

For today I don’t fell well
My body is in total hell
From head to foot I’m racked with pain
I think I may be sick again

And I was thinking by the by,
of Escherichia Coli
A bug that sits within your tum
And exits fiercely from your bum,

A bug so strong, it makes you weak,
Ejecting all you like to eat
I think that I may have it now
As I recall that chicken chow

Mein, that I did eat last night
I thought that Chinese looked alright
But viewing through my drunken eyes
May have blurred my sharp insight

And now in hindsight, I do see
What foolishness has done for me.
You must excuse me if I’m short
I’m feeling rather out of sorts

I feel the need to be alone
Just me and toilet (handles crome)
To suffer in this present mood
For my dodgy taste in food

Thats, thats amazing. Not that you have E coli, but the poem. I greatly enjoyed it. It brought a little smile to my face.

EDIT: Wait a minute. This dosen't come from personal experience?

That was way cool, Themis!!

I know that I couldn't have written anything about e-coli that would make anyone smile let alone laugh!

But that really made me laugh!

Great work

That was a great poem! I'm greatly impressed. E-Coli is one hell of an inspiration, eh?

I wrote this one as a challenge - its to do with getting a word into a poem and I was given Escherichia Coli as the word!

RR - I haven't had E-coli, but I had salmonella when I was a student and that was horrible!

I'm glad it made you laugh

Not only did it make me laugh, but now I wanna run out and get me some of that e-coli!!

I still can't look at that word without thinking of e-mail or e-commerce or e-machines

but it's different, right?

Themis,

That... was... hilarious! With so many poems revolving around self-inflicted pain, it's refreshing to read one regarding self-inflicted Chinese take-out pain.

At one time, I decided that Communist China ordered a collective of restaurateurs to the New World with a mission:

"You will travel to America, introduce the people to what they will come to know as Chinese food, and destroy them."

MSG plays no small part in that directive.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Excellent. You go girl, now THAT was a challenege and you made it work beautifully!

Okay I'm posting one in a minute for today's contribution. xoxo, Jody

(Bows to Themis) We are not worthy!!!!!
