891 - A Run for your Money


Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week are: sadistic, tentative, scour.


A Run for your Money

The bug E.coli.
You can’t call it sadistic—
Opportunistic.


Bad diarrhoea,
(What the farmers call ‘scour’),
Leaves you exhausted.


Recovery phase.
A sign of improvement:
A tentative fart.

  4. There he sat,
    Broken hearted;
    Paid his penny
    And only farted.

  7. Ooh - a tad of overindulgence or a gastric journey for us all to savour? If the former..good luck and happy bowels

  9. Closing lines bought a smile to my face, even though being in that situtation is no fun.

  10. Ahhh 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.
