Wheelchairs and eating popcorn do not mix.
Only a “HI-TECH” zip lock bag let me roll
to my picnic fix!
_____
After a few days of dying every step
among Veterans in that place,
Today’s agony broke my resolve so bad that
a loaner wheelchair was necessary
to finish today’s VA race!
_____
Today’s arthritic bus ride to a
Veterans’ Hospital was in great pain.
Rolling along 4 hours for benefits
let the excruciating hurt wane!
_____
After 4 stupid years in 1967 till 1971
Navy Aircraft vice,
Acceptance of Vietnam War Heroes
in a VA Hospital today was nice!
_____
My bad day ended as my short fuse
blasted two young medical fools.
Both inconsiderate medical snobs conversed and
blocked the door as I rolled toward
their ignorant blab pool!
_____
My loud “Excuse me!” so close made those
young punks scurry and leap.
Looks on their faces convicted them of
“As ye sew, Ye shall reap!”
_____
Looking down on my football lineman mass
gave them no power.
My audience of Veterans completely missed
their glower !
_____
This seated Veteran in a necessary medical appliance,
won the “Make-A-Hole” power trip compliance;
their faces showed “med student superiority”
conquered by patient defiance!
May GOD have mercy on us all?
Aloha,
