Gout

The ailment of the Aristocracy!

In the era of bureaucracy!

Gran's leg had its own Bloody Sunday!

But she wanted to wait till Monday!

The out-of-hours is on standby!

Just a phone call away!

But Gran is a superpower!

A Queen in her Castle!

Could she get seen to?

Or will she maintain her watchtower?

Eventually she compromised!

Her consent had to be prized!

Eventually a Nurse rang!

We went to the surgery!

It was almost like purgury!

With Gran concealing her health secrets!

She was told she had Arthritis!

Think about it as I write this!

I have leg issues myself!

Need to discuss this later!

When Gran was told she had inflamation!

I was no longer subject to condemnation!

She thanked God for me!

I was vindicated!

On Monday it was to normal surgery!

For a Blood Test and a Chat!

Later in the day the results came out!

It was revealed that she had Gout!

I then let people know online!

The advice they gave was fine!

Plenty of Cherries!

And juice of cranberries!

It was better than the Anti-Inflamatories!

Keeping things in perspective!

Has left me reflective!

I have cramp in my shins!

Now I have to heed the advice!

And take the same drinks!

So it's the story of Gout!

It's worse than a fungal infection!

So think of the poor little Rich Lady!

In the Agricultural Section!
