999

At 01:09 hrs last night
I dialled 999 in fright
"Ambulance please!"
"I think my heart's about to cease!"
I was dripping with sweat
And felt nausea, and yet
The pain caused by my Ciatica
As savage as a savage cur
The painkillers were to blame
As suddenly i felt lame
The ambulance came an hour later
It snapped me up like a yellow alligator
The heroes within, were at their very best
Took me to the hospital for further tests
The staff within were friendly, and kind
Which alleviated my fears, for peace of mind
After 6 hours, and checking my bloods
My feelings of relief, came with a flood
And before i knew it, i was on my way back
Needing the sleep, i seriously lacked
So here i am, lying in my bed
Feeling grateful, with my exhausted head
Apart from the cramp in my left foot
And the dreaded ciatica painfully put
All i want, is to sleep a few hours
And thank everyone, and say it with flowers
Roses, posies, daffodils, and more
Tulips, and daisy chains, and butterflies galore
Thank you, you know who you are
Lots of love to you all, thank you, and ta!
