A Good Rant

A rant is only as good as your anger is
it can rise slowly or really quick
if the subject gets you in a tis
make sure you do it real slick

As the bile rises
thats the time to kick
your angst will not become a crisis
your worries won’t make you tick

A good rant done and dusted
is a swift cure to body and soul
a curse or concern busted
a walk on the hot coal
now gone like mustard

or something like that.....

    It is so hard to fight
    Try, though you might,
    In dark hours of the night
    When all hope has taken flight.

    The at first light you see a faint warning
    Of the sun and the sounds of a another new morning,
    freshley dawning, a brand new day calling,
    And another day starts forming
    New challenges calling

    And you know you will, with all you strength
    Face the new day - whatever its sent.

    Just a quick ditty. Really quite Sh,,,,,,,,,y

    Hope you'll accept a 'little' rant.

    The box I keep my pills in is sitting on the shelf.
    Sometimes my husband helps me, when I can’t do this myself.
    This morning, felt I could do, so I reached and took them out,
    To take my morning dosage – when things went up the spout!

    You know those little packets, the pill within the bubble.
    How come a little thing like that can cause you so much trouble?
    I pressed one with my finger and the pill just fell apart.
    The last one in the packet – so watch the problems start!

    Half fell on the draining board, the other in the sink.
    What to do about it, well, I really couldn’t think.
    A water pill’s important, so I took the half that’s dry
    Get other with my finger – I simply had to try.

    There must be germs on this bit, so I gently ran the tap
    To wash it clean …. oh, stupid girl, I then began to flap.
    The pinkish, tiny morsel became a pinkish stain
    Disappearing quickly with the water, down the drain.

    Now does just half the tablet do only half it’s job? …..
    I just fill up with water and become a bloated blob?
    I couldn’t let that happen, so I searched my box to see
    If perchance a loose one, that’s been shaken free.

    Yes, there was, but sad to say twas all in bits so small,
    To try to make one half a pill just wouldn’t work at all.
    A voice said ‘what’s the problem?’ ‘Oh, I should have said before.
    I got new lot this morning, luv, they’re in the middle drawer!!!!’

    I recently bought a 'Pill Popper Tool' as I spend hours popping mine and my OH's pills; well this little plastic tool didn't cost much from one of those doorstep catalogues, which is just as well as it was more trouble than it was worth lol
    Jeannie, your rhyme was so true and sooo funny, thanks for the laugh, just when I needed one too :)

    HHmmmm started something here!
    Where else could I 'get published'!!!!

    Arther
    Watch out watch out, arther’s about
    creeping through our veins
    running through out joints
    an ache here, a pain there
    like a thought, still there
    just arther, visiting

    watch out watch out arther’s about
    never think he isn’t
    he’ll soon pounce
    without a thought
    of all our strength,
    he’ll take every ounce
    just arther, visiting

    Watch out, watch out Arther’s about
    tired? Fatigued? Ready to sleep?
    Reach out for dreams and feel the pain
    like a steady ache or a sudden bolt
    it can’t stop, it can’t wait, it doesn’t hate
    just arther visting

    Watch out watch out, arther’s about
    inner peace or inner pain
    relaxing is not the game
    a smile or a grin, they’re much the same?
    one contains fun the other pain
    just arther visting

    Watch out, watch out, arther’s about
    will ‘O’ the wisp ache or a real pain
    his to decide, ours to wait
    day becomes night as night becomes day
    our days divide our months collide
    just arther, visiting....................again!

    8) Its a grin, honest!

    Heres my offering. . . . . .

    At 22 I got to know
    Things from now on were going to be slow
    A shuffle here, a shuffle there,
    on my way to the comfy chair

    I used to be seen walking fast
    From A to B in a blast
    Now i'm always chauffeur driven,
    taxi for one, now thats a given

    The healthy option is to take the stairs
    but now its the lift, no rips no tares
    Gently rising will I ever be free,
    clear the path and make way for me!

    Opening a can is such a simple thing,
    Thats not the case when you've got a sore wing
    A swollen elbow, sore hands and wrists
    Electric one now, I can do the twist!

    Doing the cooking, takes everything i've got
    Got me self a stool, just so I don't rot
    Chipping and chopping someone help me please,
    give me hand or i'll be down on my knees

    If that were the case i'd be stuck for sure,
    helpless when theres a knock at the door
    but not to worry it won't be long
    till i'm back on my feet and hobbling along!!

    :lol:

    kitchen gadgets in my house now is the rave,
    because my condition can not behave,
    the tin opener is a must you see,
    with out it ther'd be no mushy peas,
    no soup or spagetti hoops,
    i'd have to call in the local troops,
    the food processor is another must,
    i need it for baking the pie must have a crust,
    the dishwasher is another trusty friend,
    although i can not load it & bend,
    that is now a family job
    just cause ive got one im not a snob,
    the electric knife
    is part of life
    with out it i cant cut bread,
    i wonder if i can find some thing that'll help me out of bed.
    not good at poetry but thats my attempt. boom boom. :lol:
