Multi-tasking me

MULTI-TASKING ME.



I’d like to say before you ask

both why and how I multi-task.

When dealing with an ostomy

it seems quite obvious to me.



First of all there isn’t time

to cogitate on slime and chyme. (partly digested food)

A stoma will not wait for you

so I find other things to do.



Things done one by one in line

is not like letting them entwine.

There’s many things that you can do

so I will try to list a few.



While my stoma does its thing

I can hum or I can sing.

Or I can simply sit and read

as I see this thing proceed.



Then, whilst I change my stoma bag

is when I’ll also have a fag.

The smoke, as far as I can tell

chokes off some of that awful smell.



And if the smoking’s not enough

I might do some other stuff.

Like write about my ostomy

in prose or maybe poetry.



I tried painting once or twice

but those results were not so nice.

I could not hold the brushes still

because I’m old and shake when ill.



But I can sit and watch T.V.

whilst - - it comes through my ostomy.

I’ll sometimes see a video

or listen to the radio.



So many things that we can do

whilst we’re waiting for our poo

and if you share your things with me

they may get there in poetry.

Love it. Let's see....making something to eat, doing the laundry, dishes, moping the floor, sleeping, showering, getting dressed, oh my the list sure could get long.... gardening, shoveling snow, taking out the trash, LOL...anything and everything!

Okay Mrs A. Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I'll give it a go to include the chores and stuff on the next blog. Best wishes Bill
