This cheeky little number has been provoked by the visuals on Bill Murray's site a day or so ago! Apologies for the word association between these last two poems!! This is just a trifle exaggerated, I hasten to add, but I don't like to take myself too seriously - as you may have guessed by now... KB

Coughing as an eight-year old
with fear of damaged lung
the sage old doctor eyed me
as the sheets I hid among

Stethoscope upon my back
he anxiously applied
"If you're looking for my chest"
I said, "it's round the other side!"

Doctor, though, sure knew the score
- with babies and the rest -
I've ended up with shoulder blades
that are bigger than my breasts!
