Chest Pain Poem
The chest pain poem
Chest pain coming through the door
Chest pain chest pain, rich or poor
Chest pain after using Meth
Chest pain grieving someone’s death.
Chest pain on the ambulance
Chest pain after high school dance
Chest pain from a frightful punch
Chest pain after spicy lunch.
Chest pain from a nasty fall
Chest pain from an angry call
Chest pain after too much booze
Chest pain on relaxinig cruise.
Chest pain young and chest pain old
Chest pain fever, cough and cold
Chest pain front and chest pain back
Chest pain snorting cooked up crack
Chest pain foreign and domestic
Chest pain sad and some pathetic
Chest pain every day and night
Chest pain sometimes gives a fright.
Chest pain sometimes is quite scary
Traumatic stuff or coronary
Embolus or perforation
Aortic rip or lung infection!
Mostly though it’s not dramatic
Trumped up fears or things bombastic
Muscle strain or indigestion
Struggling with cosmic questions
Young doctors then be circumspectic
When checking patients’ pains thoracic;
Saying that it hurts quite badly
Don’t mean things are really deadly.


Funny, thought provoking, reminder of time spent with loved ones as they had heart/issues/surgeries/ and it makes me ponder on the complexities and implications of that centrally located all important organ. OK - I will maintain my gym schedule and continue to eat healthy meals. 75 is great may 80 be just as sweetly mobile.
Love it. How about….Chest pain felt, I need a work excuse. I also need a warm blanket and an apple juice.
