Shake Me And I Rattle Poem by David Harris

Shake Me And I Rattle

Rating: 5.0


I was driving to work
when I heard this curious rattle.
For the life of me,
I couldn’t figure it out
where the rattle was coming from.
Every pothole that I hit the rattle was loud,
but on a smooth road, there was no rattle at all.
Finally, I parked the car and got out
and the rattle continued like before.
It didn’t take me long to realise
just where the rattle was coming from.
I was the one who was rattling
from all the pills I’m on.
So the next time we meet,
shake me gently
because I rattle a little bit.

Well I know several people who can relate probably to that feeling. I wouldn't know anything about that, I'm pill free, havn't taken meds for several years. My Doctor was amazed when she realized I wasn't on anything. She doesn't like the fact that I visit her once a year for my yearly checkup and that's it. I like it that way, so no kick-backs from me at this point. Hope you get better soon so you can stop taking those pills.--Melvina--
