1/21 Poem of the Month

                            "Admitting"

 I arrived at the hospital; I saw the admitting room,

There was a woman in blue; I began right away, admitting…

I said I admit I am scared; yes I was afraid of hospitals…

I admit that I can’t even do tests, let alone surgery…

I admitted that I was skeptical of doctors, I always was, I confessed…

I admitted that I should have taken better care of myself…

Then, before I could really bare my soul…

The woman in blue said: “What in the world are you babbling about?”

“Do you have an insurance card or not?!”

I admitted: I left it home!
