The Bad Uncle- A Poem

THE BAD UNCLE
He let me know he was coming, many days before
And when he shows up, he slips in the door
He visits at night, by the side of my bed
He's cunning and sly, he gets into my head
The wife and the kids, they run for the hills
Others feel sorry, and offer me pills
I know they mean well, but pills are no good
By the time they kick in, he's gone from the hood
He likes chocolate, nuts, and beer they all say
I avoid like the plague, but he comes anyway
O2, caffeine, it's said they all work
But I'll try something new, just on a quirk
My son asks me "Daddy, why do you cry?"
It's not so bad really, it's only one eye
Besides who has two colors, right on his head
One side is white, the other all red
But I found something here, on these pages within
It seems I have many, new next of kin
Who feel like I do, and share what they know
And wish that the beast, would just get up and go
So scared like a child, that he's under the bed
We creep under the covers, it's sleep that we dread
We must rise up and fight, with all the strength we can muster
And rid from our lives, this bad Uncle Cluster
Peace,
John

Effin' AWESOME John!
Now tell us a bit about yourself! Someone who can write like that, is someone we want to know!
Even if you couldn't write like that, if you suffer from cluster headaches, we want to know you.
Welcome aboard!
Chuck

Thanks Chuck. I started pondering the poem while sitting on the edge of my bed last night and wrote it a few minutes ago. I visited the site during my last bout a couple of years ago and returned when the shadows appeared. I'm a British motorcycle restoration specialist by trade and heart and a musician. I'm glad you liked it! I'm not a writer but I do dabble in artwork and writing.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
