Darren White Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Asthma

ELEPHANT

An elephant is sitting on my chest,
It's comfortable there,
I want it anywhere
But have his butt exactly there to rest.

He crushes every silly hope to breathe.
He loves to hear me wheeze,
I cannot even sneeze.
He's chosen me to be his favourite seat.

If you, sweet friends, do know a cozy zoo?
For lazy elephants,
So I can raise my hands
And give my Ventolin a puff or two?

Andrea Dietrich November 6, 2016 at 5:51 PM Indeed, what Jan said, Great humor for a serious subject. MY husband has had this so bad that he had to rush a few times to ER. It really sucks and the cost is expensive!! Darren White November 6, 2016 at 10:21 PM It sucks, and what happened to your husband, I experienced this first hand too.

Jan Allison November 6, 2016 at 7:56 AM Great humour on a serious subject Darren:-) hugs jan xx Darren White November 6, 2016 at 8:14 AM Serious subjects should be discussed lightly, still serious enough, but with a smile :)
