I was worried about what picture you may have chosen to illustrate this...
ReplyDeleteSigh. Hopefully the early signs of recovery were correct.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're not writing from experience!
ReplyDeleteThere he sat,
ReplyDeleteBroken hearted;
Paid his penny
And only farted.
Not too fun... I hope you have been spared.
ReplyDeleteLOL...that tentative fart. Not a happy tummy situation.
ReplyDeleteOoh - a tad of overindulgence or a gastric journey for us all to savour? If the former..good luck and happy bowels
ReplyDeleteOh I know that feeling all too well, my friend.
ReplyDeleteClosing lines bought a smile to my face, even though being in that situtation is no fun.
ReplyDeleteAhhh to take a subject such as ecoli and bring it to poetic form is ... well the smile won't leave my face... Thank you for this delight.
ReplyDelete"tentative" what a use of this word! hope it's without disaster :)
ReplyDeleteThat tentative action would have to be in a safe place...at home!
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteHow hopeful! You actually make recovery seem easy.
