HEART ATTACK
VETERAN
-
Mike Jenkins (U.K.)
The woman was a veteran of heart disease.
We knew her from up the forestry.
“I’ve ad two eart attacks ….
An I’m still yer, breathin!”
“This gentleman’s joined the club!”
She explained to her hubby.
“Ow many eart-attacks yew ad, love?”
I felt a fraud, a mere novice
Even though I was struggling
With info on pills and treatments ,
Those telling paroxysms.
“Ah….no…I’ve got atrial fibrillation!”
“ Oh, A-fib !” she dismissed,
“ tha’s nothin!” I was in the 2nd
division
Of the Cardiac League.
She was mid-table Prem, thriving.
