Numbness

 Laying in the corridor

Of hospital, Grand River,

Numbness in my lower jaw

Fine otherwise, no fever.

Had numbness been on one side

A 'T.I.A.' ( or 'stroke')?

Might have caused me more concern,

For, otherwise, healthy bloke.

Blood samples have been taken,

Jaw numbness does remain,

Otherwise, I feel okay,

Not knowing, is the pain.

Will I get a wink of sleep?

Or will THAT only come

Whene'er they tell me to return

To residence, called home?

And will THAT be in morning

Or some time in-between,

Whene'er that furniture, called "bed"

By my eyes, will be seen?

All night on 'guerney', corridor

Of hospital, I've been,

Know not the time, hoping, today,

By doctor, will be seen.

Did see the doctor, given pills

Will start tomorrow morn.,

On dosages and trusting that

I'll soon be, as, when born.
