After the operation My wife said It's funny How life Reflects art, Like when they cut Out your colon And gave you A semi-colon. It's just like That stupid Poem you've Been working on.

Poem Study Notes:This was originally going to be a poem about how partners are not always sympathetic towards each other in times of illness. But you know what I'm like. As soon as I saw the opportunity for a play on colon/semi-colon I couldn't resist the cheap thrill ... And so what could have been some mighty meditation on the nature of relationships/selfishness/'Every Man Dies Alone' kind of stuff turned into a chicken nugget sized morsel of childish humour. Sorry about that!
