Breaking in New Taxes literally



The Last Doctor Visit,

How come you were laying there , did you have a slip,
No I was watching the Olympics and tried a double flip,

God, now that was stupid, you might be an Olympics lover,
But lack of common sense your insurance might not cover

Mister at your age, breakage ain’t no fun,
I bet the doctor gave you a heavy ten for this one,

They said I needed a comprehensive check, one from end to end,
They didn’t find no breakage but he said my bones won’t mend,

Then I got really worried, about New Zealand’s sheep tax,
Cause here in California we’ll soon get that ax,

You heard they’re taxing passing gas, yes, you say you did
And California always goes for any thing that’s stupid,

This latest doctor visit sure had me worried some
When it comes to some procedures, I know I’m kinda dumb,

With all the probes and blinking lights, the doc put my mind at rest,
It was just a colonoscopy, not a California smog test!

hey Tom! hope you are okay. your piece reminded me of my patients before when i needed to explain to them the procedure rhay need to take and they just give me blank stares. so, i'm pretty sure you were fine. sometimes the blank stares are the cutest face ever. thank you for your poem. nice to think back on those days.

I was wondering what caused all that smog in California. Thanks for filling me in. And I was wondering what was happening with you not posting lately. Simply worried about a simple colonoscopy (did you watch the video?) can make one lose their muse.

Well, Tom, after this line: "And California always goes for any thing that’s stupid,' I'd say it'd be good for your health to move house (lock, stock and barrel - you can leave behind Boss Lady: she wouldn't mind in the least, I'll readily bet) to wherever you can ride bull till they "pétard-crackers"... (a right proper cock-n-bull story this)...Best to Madame la Boss Lady !

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
