I Left My Tumour At St Vincent's (as if your singing "I left my heart in San Francisco)

She went
SPLAT!!!
when she
landed on
the ground
below
held her
tight by
the ankles
from the
7th floor
of St Vincent's
spent three
days in
ICU
enjoyed the
attention from
all the
nurses
after my
first meal
gave me
a lasting
gift of
bugle bum

Post Surgery: Dr Parkinson came to see me and told me she was all but left, I asked what colour she was...He said a yellowish grey and quite rubbery and easy to remove...But you can't blow your nose for at least 6 weeks...then he left with a smile from ear to ear...

goodbye my
lovely Britney
for you
haven given
me
so much
pain
and I
delight in
your demise
on the
pavement at
St Vincent's

Soooooooooo glad to see and

Soooooooooo glad to see and hear you singing today. Can't help but remember the immortal line in Kindergarten Cop when the Arnold says: "It is NOT a tumor!" (In his thick Austrian accent) Well, ok, it's gone for good, splat and that was that! Hugs of love, & blue Hydrangeas ~A "The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses, but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as a creation of his senses." ~ Ernst Mach

You're a true aussie battler, and a fine poet.

No-one but you could have written this courageous, irreverent and hilarious eulogy to their own tumor! The short line form is perfect and the prose interlude only highlights it, welcome back, you have been missed much love, Jess, Reprehensibly irrepressible, "the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind." [Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged]

Welcome Back Fleur

Stars for a quick recovery! Rest in pieces Britney, you will not be missed! Also, perhaps delete 'her' on line seven (just to smooth out the flow)? Kelsey
