Huh?

A punny poem.

 HUH?

 

Sounds were disappearing.

Words were often not clear.

Everything was muffled.

It was the same in either ear.

 

He expected and feared the worst.

A loss he was forced to admit.

But when his Dr. said it was only a wax buildup,

He was sure glad to hear it.

It seems like I remember something in the Far East massage houses they called a "wax job." It was a sensual way to get the wax blown out of your ears. I wouldn't know about such things personally. But would you be interested in such things? Probably not. Nope. Not Michael D. No way.

You need to quit having those bees flying in your ears and going to work. Who wants dripping honey running out of your ears, anyway?

Happened to me when I was 18 and had a cold. Went to the local clinic for college students, and the doctor washed my ears out with soap. He told me to come back in another 18 years. Couldn't believe what I heard and hadn't for some time as I walked out of that clinic and onto the street.

I have my ears cleared of wax professionally every ten years or so. It's a very uplifting (up-hearing) experience!

Oh boy! Having undergone the same experience, I CAN relate. How refreshing to make a poetic experience out of the humdrum...wait a minute!...scratch that. I meant 'eardrum'. Or, perhaps if it really were permanent hearing loss: "Hear today, gone tomorrow?" Or mebbe, "Lizzie Bordon took her wax and gave her eardrum forty whacks..." Naw. Perhaps add an 'anvil chorus' to it, as well, just to 'stirrup' things... OK, it's a hot day here. I think it's addled my senses a tad, so I'll leave off here with a salute to your auricular acumen and leave it at that...

Funny! I thought I had a wax buildup in my left ear which also developed a ringing noise. So I thought I had blockage. The doctor check them and said that my hearing went down a notch or two. Nothing too serious but what R U going to do? So, when chores are too tough to do, I now use my selective hearing to my advantage. and I have a doctor to back me up too! LOL!
