NaPoWriMo day four
I haven’t had a lot of fun this year
The cause? Incessant ringing in my ear
I’ve had alot of trouble with my auricle
But that’s the fault of wounds that are historical.
I saw an ENT some years ago
he whirled me in a chair both to and fro
and blew warm air into my ear to see
if there was something seriously wrong with me
“Rocks in your head” he said and then I went away
and dealt with vertigo from day to day
But now this ringing causes me some strife
it nullifies my quality of life
So off to new MD I did proceed
and when there told him, hopeful- of my need
Some poking prodding, questions and a test
revealed to him what treatment is the best
I’ll take some Doxycyclene for four weeks
as well as prednisone to spring some leaks
in clogged-up nasal passages I’ve got
or so he says (And really, he’s the doc)
And after that to see if I can cope
or if he in my nose must further poke.
Ballon rhynoplasty is the last
resort if I won’t deal as if in past
the deviated septum, by the book
(Result of bruiser with a hot left hook)
should be rebroke and set to make it right
but if I don’t need that I will not fight
A boring blogpost this indeed has been
Much too much schnotty info for most men
But of my feelings you will get the gist;
Thank God he’s not a gynecologist.
Somehow, it beats diverticulitis, in my book at least.
A glimmer of faint hope,
When o’er this poem I parse:
You’ve ringing in your ears;
Thank Gawd, not in your arse.
Bravo Og and Elisson!

Nice!
A ringing arse? I see a town crier, holding a printed proclamation with both hands, with the bell shoved …well, you know.
It’s a lot better than what a friend’s wife does at Christmas!
