Happy to say that after a few years Im still alive and kicking [bodytext] => Experts proferred extracts from the teachings of Wikipedia
The cause of my malady fell across the pages of the Internet
According to the inner circle of friends and colleagues
The unschooled prognosis was dire, brutal and extreme

The stated beliefs were collective, I was a ticking bomb
Unknown minutes to detonation, cause less obscure than effect
Somewhere in a myriad of apocalyptic diseases
Mine lay unidentified yet with many different names

Medical knowledge was poised, to offer up learned diagnosis
But the blunt instrument of the concerned severed all hope
Each passing moment had me pondering, what was my brevity
Should I make haste with Christmas cards as remembrance gifts?

Before this wisdom I had never considered my demise
Where the front runners were Alzheimers or tumour of the brain
Everything so overblown, dramatic to extreme
When the only thing that happened was the loss of sense of smell

Medicine gave answers to the cause if not the cure
I breathed a sigh, devoid of scent but heavy with relief
A sense had now departed but everything made sense
To all that had me for the grave, please bury your concern [comments] => 3 [counter] => 144 [topic] => 7 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

The Teachings Of Wikipedia

grand write! But they only have a few editors
considering all the encyclopedia that/'/s ever growing,
the new terminologies, with less and less book stores,
very few library workers, but they will build a new library,
with new computers, some day, they will teach professionals not to take the easy road, and
discern, discern, Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short palindromic Repeats, but why?
Does a virus contain both RNA as well as DNA ---
most simple virus contain only RNA or DNA, lobbed with an outermost shell of protein, call it a slab of whey.
Some, like HBV, contain both RNA and DNA virons,
And I/'/ve come to learn that Woodrow Wilson was kind
of a racist, but I saw that on television.
I just use it, Wikipedia, but you sound like someone
who went to medical school or studied global climate change or Economics with a chip on their shoulder.
Why do they call it a CHIP, complex bevy of integrated circuit which is tiny, what about the H. A set of integrated circuits hilariously slapped together, by masking design.
You use this template. Not unlike a virus that came from a similar template. One would only suppose.

Peace!

And, as they say, fight, fight, fight for all your rights!
That/'/s no Wilson, I think that/'/s ACDC.
Peace!

You travel in good company! (Mark Twain said that the rumors of his death were greatly exaggerated).
The medical profession is profoundly talented at diagnosis, but not cure..in fact, so are we all.

Glad that you are still with us, and writing to remind us that we need not fatalize the symptoms of our existence! The longer we live, the more of our our faculties will begin to fail.
Thank you for the warning so splendidly disguised in your musical offering. The medicine is far easier to swallow when it is offered within the confection of your poetry!
