A poem by gus

If I ever had a rectum, the doc he would inspect 'em
On a regular basis to make sure there's no strife.
But if my arsehole failed me and illness it did ail me
Then a bag upon my belly would suffice.
My front bum I would carry, at play or when I tarry
In whatever work I choose to carry out
I will name the little blighter to make its burden lighter
And we will be companions when we do go out
But the upside of this canter is my merry witty banter
Could be lost on those that really have no clue
And those folks that just don't get it can be gone, I won't regret it
I will wish them all a very fond adieu
So my fillings are now runny and my days are full and sunny
And a bag change here and there won't hurt
The best news ever given is a blessing sent from heaven
I don't ever have to use a public dunny!

P.S. For those from foreign land, a dunny is a toilet

Hi Crossley. Ya know, I think it’s all about feelings. I don’t mean the pain feelings which could control everything. I mean the feelings inside our heads, our hearts and even our souls. I mean the feelings of who we are now compared to who we were; how we accept our situation or maybe we don’t. My wife asked how I felt and I said, “like crap”. She asked what hurt and I answered, “Nothing hurts, well, everything hurts, I don’t know, It all sucks.” That was a long time ago. You question if your feelings are normal. How normal is it to relocate your butt hole to your belly where it’s usually in the way of your belt and, you know. But that’s where we are and for lots of us we are so much better off than we were before, physically. Emotionally, psychologically, well, that might be a different story. I believe talk therapy is wonderful if we could find a real empathic or sympathetic listener. So guess what! I found MAO and began “talking” with a keyboard with some of the wisest, kindest most sympathetic and compassionate folks on the planet. Regardless of where we’ve been, lots of folks here have been there and worse places and found their way back healthier and happier. We really do help each other.
Keep “talking”,
Mike
